Voice Lessons in Madison, AL

Music is a form of expression that heals and teaches. Music helps people relate to one another and find meaning and enjoyment in life. As a trained musician who plays many styles of music, I can help you achieve your goals. I have 20 years of experience teaching applied piano lessons at all levels, ranging from beginner to pre-professional. I graduated with my Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance in May of 2019 and started my studio, Huntsville Performing Arts, in October of 2018. My secondary instrument is voice and I have worked for the University of Alabama, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of Wisconsin as a vocal coach and accompanist. My performance credentials include performing internationally at music festivals such as the Zephyr Chamber Music Festival, which included performances across Italy and Switzerland, the Atlantic Music Festival in Waterville, Maine, where I was chosen as the recipient of the Atlantic Music Festival Roberts Scholarship. I won the Clara Wells Scholar award and was a featured performer at the American Matthay Association Piano Festival in State College Pennsylvania, as well as performing with the Florida Atlantic University Symphony Orchestra as a winner of their Young Artist Concerto Competition. I care about my students and my community and want to share the joy of music with everyone. I provide regular performing opportunities in the local community. I also offer studio group performance classes. In addition, I am on the board of the Alabama Music Teachers Association, and can enroll younger age groups in the regional and state AMTA competitions. I can also enter adults in the national MTNA (Music Teachers National Association) E-Competition if they wish to gain more performance experience and feedback from a judge.

Pedagogy is something that I love to do !! As I believe to teach is to learn twice. Little learning is dangerous - my policy it’s okay to be slow learner provided one achieves mastery !! I’m here to help you from all angles to become a forever learner , seeking and growing knowledge.

Music is my life. Music is an expression of who I am and what I like to bring to the world. My services are threefold. I am a performer (Vocals and Guitar) and a music educator. For more than 25 years, I have provided award winning musical services as a solo vocalist with guitar, duo, trio and full band, playing tunes from Standards, Easy Listening to Classic Rock and Originals. My Band has been a Yamaha Ticketmaster awardee and have played from small private venues to large stages such as the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, Hermosa Community Theater, Santa Barbara Jazz Festival, Manhattan Beach Fireworks Festival, Americana Fireworks Festival, Los Angeles Marathon and more. Employers include private parties, hotels, community centers, cities and government agencies. I am also a Musical Director for numerous stage musicals, a church music director and a Music teacher for Grades 1-8 which has provided a curriculum basis for Private Lessons. I teach private Vocal lessons, using time tested methodology that is appropriate for beginners to seasoned singers. I also teach guitar and ukulele and have been popular for putting together "garage bands" for all ages to Adult. Finally, I am a songwriter who can assist you or your company with special musical dedications, infomercials or theme songs. Music has been my full time occupation for many years and the magic of music is found in each client or service I provide. I enjoy seeing the fun and fellowship that results from my performances as well as the special life's memories that can be made with music. I love the "big" moments when my students realize that they have accomplished so much and they are really playing music.
