Experience
Live and Studio Vocalist, Instructor and Coach
Apr, 1992 - PresentDesert Home Music
I have been touring with live theatre and bands ever since I finished college. In the last few years, I have been focusing on JPJQ (Quartet), a jazz band that specializes in traditional jazz arrangements of modern songs (think Postmodern Jukebox with a Dixieland twist!) I am also a featured vocalist, occasionally returning to Vancouver, BC to perform or record with Rollaway/Benton Roark Band (southern rock original band) and in Oregon with Freedom Street (Blues and Top 40 cover band). While I have been teaching and coaching my fellow performers on a casual basis for years, since I moved to the Northwest, first in Vancouver, Canada, and now in Portland, I have finally been able to develop my own studio. I love being able to follow a student through the process of learning to sing in a way I never got to do as a short term coach!
Voice and Piano Teacher
Sep, 2017 - Jun, 2019Allegro School of Music
I loved teaching at Allegro! I only left because my private teaching business has gotten too busy!
Voice, Piano, Ukulele Teacher
Mar, 2016 - Aug, 2017Studios, Wilsonville, OR
Music Man Studios offers a wide range of instruments, and employs teachers with a variety of teaching styles and philosophies to make the best matches for their students. I have been lucky enough to teach voice, piano and ukulele here and enjoy the supportive, small-town atmosphere and sense of their place in the community.
Voice, Piano, Ukulele Instructor
Nov, 2015 - Jul, 2017Vancouver Music Academy
Teaching in a “strip mall music school” in Vancouver, WA. Here, my students range in age from 5yrs – adults, studying piano, voice and ukulele. This school expanded and rebranded in 2017 (It was previously known as Musical Beginnings, in a smaller location a few blocks away.)
Voice, Piano, Ukulele, Technique & Performance Stylings Teacher
Jan, 2015 - Aug, 2017Between The Lines Music
I have recently launched this School of Music with my husband, in an office space in Downtown Portland. I offer voice lessons similar to my home studio, as well as offering in-home lessons as needed. I am also developing my business to teaching experienced musicians in band leading skills, doing performance coaching and workshops in business development. With my husband, we plan to offer combo classes as well.
