Simply stated, music is my life! I began piano lessons at age 8, and voice lessons at age 12. I am a graduate of the Youth Performing Arts School in Louisville. While at Y.P.A.S. I majored in Voice, and traveled with the Concert Choir performing in Canada, Austria, Germany, and at the 2001 United States Presidential Inauguration in Washington D.C.

I then went on to the University of Louisville, where I received a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance. While at U of L, I was awarded the Charme Von Bomhard Award for the most promising voice student in the area of opera. Also during my time at U of L I performed with the prestigious Cardinal Singers, with whom I toured extensively in Germany, and was featured at the World Symposium on Choral Music in Kyoto, Japan. I have also sang with the Kentucky Opera in performances of Puccini's Tosca and Madame Butterfly.

Currently, I sing at many venues and with various groups throughout the Louisville Metro area. I perform music...

I am an involved teacher who has a strong passion for learning and teaching. I love to watch my students learn and succeed, and I make it my goal to give the students all the tools they require to do so. I have received music training on the bass guitar as well as rhythm guitar, and can offer everything from jazz training and bluegrass to rock and blues on bass, and from basic to intermediate lessons to rock guitar training on guitar. I have a music technology, as well as music degrees from Bellarmine University, and can also offer lessons in music theory and as well as recording lessons, and can even offer lessons about stage performance, and how to play to a crowd.

I love music, I love teaching, and I've been fortunate enough to make a living doing both.

A little about me: I'm originally from Erie, PA. I started playing guitar in high school, and realized that I wanted to dedicate my life to music. I went on to earn my Bachelor's degree in music education from SUNY Fredonia. For my undergrad, I learned how to play piano and most of the band instruments (trumpet, saxophone, flute, percussion, etc), but I focused on classical guitar. I performed three separate recitals, and also played with the Fredonia Guitar Quartet for two years. I also learned how to play mandolin and tenor banjo (which I played with a Dixieland jazz band). While I am classical trained, my true love has always been rock and folk music.

I moved down to Louisville, KY to earn a masters degree in music history and literature. I wrote my thesis on Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, and also published an article on a trip he made to Louisville. I currently teach both...

Hi! I've traveled to Ireland, Austria, and Italy to study music, and I'm ready to bring it back and share it with you.

My piano lessons started before preschool at age 3; since then, I have taught myself many other instruments and styles, including classical training in violin and viola. For my semester abroad I studied music with the best in Vienna, Austria, the European capitol of classical music. I'm hoping to enter the Music Theory program at the University of Louisville graduate program so I can continue learning and eventually become a professor.

I started playing piano when I was 8. I started writing compositions around 9. Since I was singing in the choir, I began to fuse piano and singing, until I wrote my first song with words when I was twelve. Along the way I learned guitar, bass, drums, and various forms of composition and recording techniques. I toured with my band The Navigators for several years and I have had compositions of mine in TV shows like "The Unit" and in the documentary "Dreamriders" as well as various independent films. Along the way I have taught every age group from six months of age up to adult.

Every student brings new challenges of which I'm ready to tackle with them and help them grow.
