Piano Lessons - I love to cater to what the student needs.  Not everyone learns in the same way, so some of my students might benefit from a more direct, by-the-book lesson taught in gradual steps, and some others might benefit from learning about one topic at a time, and zooming in on that concept.  Either way, all of my students will receive a thorough lesson in sight reading, music theory, and piano warm ups every week.

Voice Lessons - I work mainly with vocal students interested in Pop, Jazz, and Musical Theater.  Each lesson will consist of vocal warm ups and review of technique, regardless of style.  Beyond that, I work with my students in song selection, and help them carry out the best performance of that song within their range and vocal limits.
