Education

Southern Methodist University - Music Therapy - 1999-2004 (Bachelor's degree received)

Specialties

Voice: Classical, musical theater, and pop, providing guidance in proper breathing, correct vocal tone, and proper vocal placement.

Piano: My instruction in piano is geared to the younger student who is developing basic reading skills. I can also teach the adult who is wanting to only learn chords and am able to provide the student with the musical style of their choice.

Lesson Details

I have a unique style of reaching my students by focusing on the specific needs of the individual, realizing that each person is unique in his or her own right and deserves special attention in their musical development. A more disciplined student who has more specific goals will receive a stricter, challenging lesson, while the student wanting a laid back demeanor during lessons will have a much different experience. I also enjoy meeting new people from various backgrounds and have ... significant experience working with children of all ages.
