Voice Lessons in San Dimas, CA

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.

I am the owner and a teacher at Creative Cultivation Studio, and I have seven wonderful teachers who also teach through my studio, as well as two extremely helpful admin staff. We build our lessons around each individual student, catering to what they need, and where we can help them build their skills the most. We do our best to avoid redundant, general lessons. Every person is different, and we want to ensure that they are learning as much as they can so they can become the best musician they can be.

Traveling Music Lessons will help you find the right teacher for your family - with lessons that occur in the comfort of your home! Our talented teachers all have music degrees, or equivalent work experience, and they have all passed a background check.

I have extensive experience in many areas with a Doctor of Music Degree from Yale, and am on the faculty at AMDA and UCLA teaching many genres of music including pop, musical theater, and classical- piano and voice. I love helping people of all levels discover their potential and watching their growth! In vocal teaching- I have helped many singers expand their range, sing with less tension, feel more confident using a variety of techniques I have gathered from many professional singers, studied with the best teachers in Los Angeles and New York, and singers are often shocked how quickly they find more ease in their singing and greater confidence! I am effective at turning on the mix for both male and female voices, and helpful to singers at all stages of their development. I can also provide piano tracks for singers, and can transpose karaoke tracks upon request. I like to split our time between technical exercises and songs. In piano teaching- I am happy to teach both classical and popular styles. For beginning and intermediate students I find the piano adventures series to be especially good for all ages, supplemented with pieces that the students are passionate about. In advanced players, I find that a combination of pieces I suggest and music that excites the student work well! I love preparing my students for the CM certificate of merit evaluations through MTAC, and other competitive events! I am also effective in getting intermediate players to read music faster and more effectively!
