About Private Lessons and My Teaching Philosophy

I’m currently teaching at the Music Cafe in Mukwonago WI. I am also available to teach lessons via Zoom.

I offer comprehensive voice lessons for all voice types.

I also offer lessons for beginning to intermediate piano, guitar and bass guitar.

My rates are as follows:
$25 for a 30 minute lesson
$50 for an hour lesson

The main objective of me as a teacher is to help my students realize
their full potential and goals while helping to instill a continued
passion for music and love for learning. To do this, I find it
imperative to continue educating myself on various aspects of my
musicianship and my craft. I set high standards for myself and for my
students. I base my vocal instruction off of important pedagogical texts
as well as other current research.

In specifically referring to my voice teaching, I find that this is
crucial. By using a conceptual approach as a standard to vocal
technique, I also realize that each student is unique in various ways.
Therefore, I strive to teach proper vocal technique adapted to each
student’s stage of development. For instance, I might use more imagery
and abstract concepts towards a beginning student, while perhaps using
more of a more complex array of techniques towards a more advanced student.

Music is a lifelong pursuit and a serious and passionate musician never stops learning. To quote one of my favorite composers, “Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is never enough for music..” – Sergei Rachmaninoff.
