This lesson is great for singers, pianists or songwriters who want to become better performers! The lessons are designed for students interested in building their performance portfolios. This course is tailored for different styles of Pop/Rock/R&B, Jazz, Musical Theater, Classical, Country, Gospel, etc. Musical instruments not necessary, but are recommended. The lesson will start off with a warmups/music theory review. Please come prepared to each lesson with at least five songs you want to practice! (Songs can either be performed acapella, with piano, or with a backing track). Let's bring your music to life! No experience needed.
Learning Goals
Students will feel more comfortable and confident in performing a song! Students will learn proper music techniques, music theory, and performance skills to succeed in an audition or on stage.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Doctoral Degree in Education from St. Thomas University
I love teaching private lessons! I specialize in voice, piano, and songwriting from beginner to advances in classical, jazz, musical theatre, and contemporary music. I like to start each private lesson off with warm-ups and theory and then continue working through the lesson on repertoire that is appropriate for the student. I am especially good with sight-reading as well as preparing students for high school performing arts programs, summer camps, summerstock, and college auditions. I try to be positive in my teaching, but also constructive; to really help students become the best musicians they can be. Whether they are pursuing music and theater professionally or as a hobby. I want to provide my students with quality music lessons, just as I received quality music lessons growing up! I have ten years of experience teaching online and in private, parochial, charter, and public school settings primarily in urban environments and underserved communities. Currently, I serve as the Director of Choir and Musical Theatre at St. Thomas University, in Miami, FL. As a performer, my favorite performances include touring with Disney Live!, Nickelodeon at Sea, Carnival Cruiselines, and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
