I have been teaching private music lessons for 21 years. I graduated from Oral Roberts University with a BA in Sacred Music. As young boy I played piano and guitar by ear and in junior high began to music. In high school I learned to read music from singing in choir, and I also started writing songs and musical pieces. During my high school years I had formal voice training from a voice teacher, but also had many professional musicians guiding me in all of my endeavors. I performed vocally in church, church musicals, city musicals, and voice seminars. I also had a job playing guitar, piano, and singing at a local country club where I truly learned how to preform. I'm college my main instrument was voice. I studied opera and art songs. I learned and preformed Italian, German, French and English Oprea. In my musical studies I learned expertly how to read music, how to write music, and to analyze music. I am trained in music theory and music history, all of which I draw upon in my music studio. All of my students not only learn how to read music but we discover how music works, and we have alot of fun doing it!!
