Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from American University
Hello from sunny Florida!
I am a piano and voice (singing) teacher who also has lots of theater experience! I'll be offering a variety of music programs for kids of all ages.
I have been teaching piano since 2001 and it was one of my first jobs. I added voice and theater into the mix in 2006 when I received my BA in Music Performance from American University in Washington, DC. I was blessed in 2012 to be able to start teaching full time and I have never looked back!
I've been teaching music for 20+ years and I have loved every moment of it! I especially love working with young singers and helping them explore their voices and understand free and easy vocal production.
Training:
B.A. in Voice Performance from American University (Washington, DC)
The CCM Vocal Pedagogy Institute at Shenandoah University (July 2019)
Working with Adolescent Voices Course Completion from The Voice College (September 2020)
Somatic Voicework(tm): The LoVetri Method in partnership with Baldwin Wallace University (Online, July 2021)
In addition to music I am also a homeschool mom and a part time gamer. I love everything from tower defense to cozy farming games. Gaming on Outschool has been a great way for my own son to connect with other kids, and I hope to bring that opportunity to other families as well! Make sure you check out my super fun gaming options as well!Reviews
