Music Lessons in Mattapan, MA. It's your time.

After Teaching voice for the past few years it's clear that one thing is universal no matter what kind of singer you are: It takes an impressive amount of courage and self awareness to be heard through song. The Voice is one of the highest form of emotional expression, taking the whole body; as the whole body is the instrument. In these lessons we will focus on breath, bring attention to tension, support, and placement of the voice. Giving you the freedom to be heard. I'm excited to work together with you to find your voice.

"The best singers are relaxed in performance. That is they have no extraneous tension. Their muscles are ready to receive the impulse necessary to fulfill action and will ripple with energy."
Kristin Linklater

I am passionate about teaching piano and experienced working with students of all ages and levels. Holds a doctoral degree in Piano Performance and a master's degree in Piano Pedagogy. I am very flexible and patient depending on each student’s level and learning speed, yet I make sure to teach important techniques and musicianship that are crucial when learning music. My hope for students is to enjoy music making!

My approach to teaching voice is grounded in the breath, body awareness, and psychological well being. One must be continuously mastering the air as the body may feel different from day to day or week to week. Progress is never linear, and sometimes it is easy for a student to feel down if they expect more of themselves or because of something personal. The journey in an instrument, as personal as the voice, is never easy. Therefore, I encourage positive self-talk in and outside of lessons. I will always ask students how the exercises feel, but also what they're thinking about when executing them. In addition, I listen for any physical tensions a student may display. My goal in teaching is to help the student rid the body and throat of any extra tension, so they can produce the freest and healthiest sounds possible. I consider my job well-done, if a student no longer needs me regularly and can become their own teacher. For younger students, a big part of my curriculum is reading music

I teach students of all levels. Whatever experience you have, we will work with. I believe that it is important to learn how to play by ear as well as read written music. Understanding both approaches, you will be able to play almost any kind of music in a solo as well as a group setting. Depending on your experience, I can find suitable projects that will help you to develop your skills.

My goal as a piano teacher is to have my students grow as musicians in a supportive and patient environment. I believe this is what is most important. I have lessons be tailored to the interests of the students and always do my best to offer choices. I use a variety of sources and visuals in order to help students learn. My experience as a classroom teacher has developed my style of teaching and catering to all learning styles. I love working with students of all ages and I can speak both English and Spanish. I can't wait to meet you!
