*** Lesson Details ***
To my future students:

I sit down at our first lesson to make a Custom Lesson Plan for what you want to study and goals you want to achieve.

I want to help you reach your goals and make you happy as a singer, so I am open to teach you anything no matter how little/much experience you have.

Next, we will pick a fun area to work on, and a challenging area to conquer. For example: we will work on a fun song then we will work on reading and/or rudiments.
I am also very patient and flexible to those students whom have special needs, or need to accelerate at a slower pace.

“Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.”- E.Y. Harburg

tate University, located in Kent, OH, and I earned my Bachelor's degree in Music Education. I'm definitely a fun-loving, outgoing person, and my teaching style is tailored to my students; a think-outside-the-box style, and hands-on.

Let's get together, reach for those stars, and grab your goals!

sophy can be summarized by Dr. S Radhakrishnan’s axiom, "The true teachers are those who help us think for ourselves." One of my greatest joys is empowering students to use logic and reasoning in every area of their life.

I tutor with enthusiasm, patience, and structure. My lessons are planned in advance with great detail to maximize learning and encourage tutor-student discussion. In sessions, I offer immediate, constructive feedback and verbal praise, as well as, step-by-step instruction and guided and independent practice. As a tutor, I enjoy building positive relationships with my students encouraging them to have fun as they learn!

I can’t wait to meet you and to encourage you in achieving your academic and life goals!
