Hello everyone! My name is Brandon (he/him) and I am a performer, voice teacher, and interdisciplinary educator with over 6 years of experience teaching voice to learners of all ages! I graduated from Indiana University with a Master's in Post-Secondary Instruction and a Bachelor of Arts in Vocal Performance. I am a former middle school choir and theatre teacher and I also taught elementary music.
I teach all levels of singing and music, from beginning students to those who have been taking lessons for years! In addition to teaching singing, I also teach music history, musical theatre, and introductory French. As an interdisciplinary educator, I come with a wide array of subject knowledge to provide a well-rounded approach to learning.
My private lessons will be tailored to each student's needs. It is important that my students know that I am inclusive and supportive of all backgrounds and I pride myself and creating a teaching environment where students feel empowered and supported.
I love Minecraft, Fortnite, Goose Goose Duck, and cute pets! Currently, I am loving the new musical, The Notebook!Reviews
