PIANO / VOCAL / ORGAN / CONDUCTING - I am a music educator and performer that loves working with individuals from the young child to professionals. I taught public school for 12 years and then taught at The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY for the last 14. My degrees are from Western Michigan University, Indiana University, and Ball State University. During my teaching career, I provided private lessons outside of the school and the college. When I left NY, I had 35 students of which 6 remained with me online. I love teaching and create an atmosphere where the students, regardless of age, feel successful in their endeavors.

In fact, I encourage that!! WHAT IS MY STYLE OF TEACHING? Every student is different and what works for one may not work for another. It's important for me to know my students so I can better shape the lesson. I love questions, reflection, and humor. I'm very patient and understanding. We are all incredibly busy and accept that students may have weeks they are not able to practice a huge amount of time. WHAT DO I DO IN ADDITION TO GIVING LESSONS? I am a Volunteer Coordinator and facilitate the Men’s Grief Support Group. I am also the Director of Music at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and Conductor of the Na Leo Malama Singers.
