Music Performance Lessons in Annapolis. Amazing Teachers.

As a private music teacher, I provide instrumental, vocal and music training for children and adults of all ages. I have developed and prepared learning materials and repertoire for my students at different stages of their musical development; I teach individual and/or group lessons lasting from 30 minutes to an hour or longer, usually incorporating elements of general musicianship, such as ear training and theory, as well as instrumental technique and interpretation. Also, I do arrange performance opportunities for your my students, such as concerts for friends and relatives; preparing them for performances, examinations, auditions and festivals.

Using techniques and tools I've learned and practiced during my 20+ years experience as a professional singer and stage performer, which I also incorporate into my "Heart Centered Vocal Coaching" programs (see below), I will help and guide you as to get you fully prepared for your on-stage debut or simply to help you better sharpen your current performance skills.

Heart Centered Vocal Coaching

- Find and learn to Love your own voice.
- Learn breathing and vocal/singing techniques and practices. Great breath-work practices.
- Practice the art of Improv, or as I like to call it ... Jazz!!!
- Learn to trust your heart and voice and what it wants to share.
- Learn the art of songwriting. We’ll write your song together.
- My approach is more of a combination between vocal expression and self empowerment.
- And more...

I am a Bass Performance student at UGA. I love to teach upright bass and electric bass in all styles! I personally play jazz, classical, funk/jam, musicals, rock, and bluegrass. I’m also well versed in music theory, aural skills/ear training, improvisation, jazz theory, and songwriting. I love to help students get their low notes sounding good and grooving!
