About

I am an experienced educator and music director with over a decade of teaching and leadership experience in both academic and performance settings. I have taught Music, English, and Values Education at the middle and high school levels and have extensive experience training children, teens, and college students in choir and instrumental performance.

I have served as Music Director and Choir Conductor in multiple churches, directing adult and children’s choirs, arranging music, and leading live performances. My background includes mentoring students in music theory, vocal training, and instrumental instruction while fostering discipline, confidence, and musical excellence.

Academically, I hold advanced studies in Ministry and Christian Education, along with certifications in TESOL, Montessori Education, Special Education Needs, and Childcare. My diverse training allows me to effectively teach students of different ages, backgrounds, and learning styles.

  • Step-by-Step Learning – Complex skills are broken down into simple, achievable steps

  • Active Practice – Applying concepts immediately through exercises and songs

  • Engaging Lessons – Interactive games, repertoire, and performance activities to keep students motivated

  • Performance & Expression – Students learn dynamics, phrasing, and musical interpretation

  • Confidence & Growth – Creating a positive space where mistakes are part of learning
