Best deals! 1. One on one instruction: I offer monthly memberships at $400 per month for both voice and songwriting (minimum 90 days commitment)

My process is very straightforward: with each student, I evaluate current skills and individual goals, then provide them with specialized instruction and practice regiments tailored to help them achieve their goals. Many of the artists that study with me go on to full-time careers in music, and I help to pave the way for them by offering my professional network, which includes Grammy winning professionals, as well as performance opportunities at top-shelf venues that I manage personally. Like no other music coach in the DC area, I have the ability to move your career forward on every front.

I hold a Bachelor's of Vocal Music Performance from the world famous Lee University. I have over 30,000 hours of performance and industry experience. I have won national and international awards for my singing, songwriting, and producing work.

I began singing, writing, and competing at age 12 and have never looked back. My entire life has been lived in devotion to music since that day.

I have worked with all ages and skill levels, and I'm open to training anyone that is serious about growing as a musician. Roughly half of my students study with me as part of pursuing professional careers in the music industry. The other half study with me for pure enjoyment.

Don't choose a teacher based on the price...always choose quality, even if that means taking half the number of lessons you can afford with a bargain instructor. Especially when it comes to singing instruction, bad teaching leads to bad habits, vocal damage, loss of professional opportunities, and ultimately the kind of frustration that leads people to quit music. Take yourself and your gifts seriously, and hire a teacher that will treat you in kind.

1. Ask them if they are a full time musician or just doing music for extra cash on the side. If the latter, don't even consider hiring them. The musicians that are worth studying with will always be successful enough to support themselves solely from their work in the field of music. 2. Prioritize results: ask potential teachers about the outcomes of their previous students. If their students regularly end up working full time in music and winning awards, you can be sure the instructor is worth hiring.
