Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Each student has different needs depending on age, experience, and goals. A first lesson is often spent getting to know my new singer and her voice to then create a plan going forward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master of Music in Composition and completed a certification in modern vocal technique in 2007. It was in 2008, when I opened a performance-based pop music school in Keene, NH, that my love of working with young girls began to take hold. There's little more satisfying then watching a once-shy singer stand in front of an audience and interact and sing her heart out.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
The cost of lessons varies based on length and quantity purchased.
How did you get started teaching?
I've been teaching since I was a music student in college. It was part of the way I supported myself while playing in bands. In 2007, I decided to make teaching my primary gig, and I've been doing that ever since.
What types of students have you worked with?
My background is in pop, rock, folk, and other non-classical genres, so I primarily work with students interested in those styles. I also have many musical theater students.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
It's important to have a teacher who, in addition to being highly qualified, has a personality that you click with and a compatible teaching philosophy. It's worth taking the time to do reasearch, like examine a teacher's website and ask any questions you may have.
