Music Performance Lessons in Anderson. Amazing Teachers.

Anytime time I give a student a solo to work on, I always take the approach as if they are going to perform it. Even they are not, I still like to take this approach so that when they are preparing for a performance, they know what to do.

I teach singers of all genres (country, classical, pop, bluegrass, rock…) to sing with confidence and freedom!

I teach an open throat technique (appoggio) that allows the singer to sing with freedom, and access their entire range evenly. I also work with students to develop style, interpretation, languages, and acting ability.

Performance anxiety is something that many musicians deal with to some degree. I am great with helping my students overcome many of the common fears associated with performing, having overcome many of them myself!

Hello and welcome to my studio!

I have performed and taught professionally over the past decade in a variety of scenarios ranging from Classical Concerts, to Wedding Band performances, to live Ska/Hip-Hop gigs all along the East Coast. The biggest thing I have learned is that performing is a skill in itself, and everyone can acquire this unique ability!

As a member of my studio, our first lesson will involve going over what your goals are in music performance. Do you have a big performance at the end of the school year? Do you play alot of gigs and find yourself getting nervous? Do you finally want to play that solo with confidence and win the audience? Whatever it may be, I will give some helpful starters to move toward your goals. In fact, I have a unique process for building up confidence in an engaging way.

I have two degrees in Music performance. I can help with performance anxiety and like to teach students to be confident in their playing.

As a child actor in New York City I learned Stage Presence plus Camera Awareness from the adult actors in those casts. Then I received my Bachelor's Degree from VCU in Music Performance.
