I am a music teacher, pianist, singer and songwriter. I've been teaching music for a long time (30 years!). Why? Because I love music and I love teaching. The best moments in my work are when the students realize they can sing something that they couldn't do before. I love their expressions at that moment. During my singing lessons, you can learn how to use your 'instrument' ( your voice) properly: breathing, posture, pitch, resonance, agility, vocal range, and riffs. And how to apply that to any songs you are interested in. My teaching experience includes: private lessons, private studios in Madrid (Spain) and School of Rock (Wexford, PA).
