Singing serves as an essential tool for demonstrating the desired or potential articulation and intent behind any piece of music my students and I could be exploring. Whether it's a tutti phrase in a big band score, the flow of a ukulele strumming pattern, or adjusting one's vocal placement technique in a challenging song, singing helps to embody and convey the musical expression we aim to achieve. Through vocal exploration and demonstration, students gain a deeper understanding of musical concepts and develop their own expressive abilities.

As a dedicated educator, I've spent 3 years teaching music in public schools and 6 years offering private instruction, helping students unlock their potential across a range of instruments and styles. From jazz to classical to rock to blues, I've performed in various musical genres, honing my skills as a versatile musician.
