LESSONS
I've been teaching lessons in NYC for over 10 years with a focus on Voice, Guitar, and Piano. I play and teach in all styles, from pop, rock, to blues, soul, country, jazz, and musical theatre.
​
I have a Bachelors of Music in Musical Theatre from Oklahoma City University (2013). Teaching experience in NYC includes Little Maestros, The Perry School, Mondo Music and Macquarie Group.
​
My philosophy is that the art form of song is central to learning how to play music, whether vocal or instrumental.
​
Learning songs teaches us how to play in rhythm, how to phrase, use dynamics, and craft a performance that is authentic to us.
​
Simultaneously, I focus on techniques and exercises that augment the student's ability to perform with ease. I call these exercises "rudiments" because they are rudimentary to the understanding of the instrument, and because they begin each lesson and practice session.
​
Overall, I find that a combination of technique and repertoire is what makes the study of an instrument successful.
​
Please drop a line, and let me know what you're interested in learning. I'd love the chance to work with you.
​
​
Each semester I try to make sure each student has the opportunity to perform alongside other students if they choose.

Here is my voice student Ruby's performance of a Bruno Mars song from her recital on June 14, 2025 with myself on piano.
