Lesson Details

I believe in cultivating a warm, friendly, encouraging and disciplined learning environment for all of my students.

Beginning to intermediate piano lessons for students of all ages!

Serving loyal students of all ages since 2005. I use theory, lesson and performance methods to teach musical concepts, and focus on correct positioning of the hands to play properly. I also use imaginative imagery and story telling to help students develop a loving relationship with the piano and the art of ... making music. I encourage creativity, ear training, rhythm technique, transcription, and arranging. I am constantly expanding my teaching repertoire, and actively searching for material that caters to students' individual tastes and preferences.

My students love me because I am warm, friendly, engaging, and encouraging. I take pride in allowing my students to have a sense of individuality with me. My main goal as a music educator is to instill my students with a sense of joy, artistic curiosity and discipline when it comes to music and the piano.

I begin all voice lessons with a light meditation and stretching, which is important for opening up the vocal channel, relaxing the body, and increasing awareness of the mechanism.
I focus on vocal exercises, breathing techniques, and body awareness and alignment. These tools are developed to give my students the ability to evaluate the way correct resonance feels.
In combination with these techniques, I coach my students in musicality, delivery, characterization, phrasing, and vowel placement to help them deliver their best performance, and connect to the joy of singing and sharing the art of making music!

About

I have been teaching piano and voice since completing my Bachelors of Music Degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Oregon School of Music in 2005. I have many students who have been with me for years.

I just relocated to NYC from Oakland, California, where I have been working steadily as a theatrical musician and educator.

I have been teaching piano and voice since completing my Bachelors of Music Degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Oregon School of Music in ... 2005. I have many students who have been with me for years.

Previously, I've taught piano (private and group instruction) for two years at New World Music Academy in Pleasanton, CA, and at Golden Key Piano School in Berkeley, CA for 6 months in 2011. In addition, I have maintained my own private studio of about 12 piano and voice students for the last 6 years.

I am an active, well seasoned performer. I write and perform my own music with a band that I lead, I have been involved in numerous theatre productions in Oregon and California, and I've been working as a free lance vocalist for years as well. I've also collaborated with many composers, dancers, and playwrights over the years. I have decades of experience working with children, and have worked with many families that have remained loyal to me for years.

I think you'll find that I'm extremely warm, encouraging, and enthusiastic about sharing my love for music and performance. I truly love the student-teacher relationship, and thrive in a flexible and well thought out learning environment. I love the process of getting to know a students' learning style, taste preferences, and personality.
