Teaching Statement
I love to teach in all genres and believes music is for everyone. After years of performing at festivals, in theatre, on camera, at wedding and for fundraisers, I have come to learn that as a musician and a teacher, that music is fun all of the time, and wishes to impart this knowledge on her students.
I believe in a well rounded music education. Lessons with me will include vocal technique, music theory, ear training, sight reading, repertoire and performance skills. My students are encouraged to be involved in festivals and local performance opportunities.
