Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When starting with the new student, like to get them comfortable by letting them know what I have done professionally and what I can do for them.
I like to know what a student’s actual goals are:
Are you here for fun?
Do you plan to do this professionally?
do you have time to practice??
ect...
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended the University of Southern California where I had the chance to train with some outstanding teachers.
I have also studied privately with Shugemi Matsumoto and Dr. Louis Toppin.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I expect lessons to be paid at minimum, two weeks in advance. I am willing to work with someone that has the drive and determination to succeed. “People pay for what they want and often beg for what they need”.
What price are you willing to pay for success?
How did you get started teaching?
When I was attending USC I had a young girl and her mother approach me after church, for about a month. The mother kept asking me to teach the daughter. I told her I didn’t know how to give her daughter vocal lessons. Her mother told me to just teach her daughter what I was learning. I finally Gave try and I’m glad I did.
I didn’t even know what to charge back them, so I asked her if $4.00 for a lesson sounded reasonable... she said “ yes” lol

i have worked with students in many styles from jazz, rock, gospel, contemporary Christian, I am fmusical theater and opera
