Welcome!

I offer caring, professional instruction in voice and piano at my studio in Pelham, Alabama (just south of Birmingham). For beginning students, we start with the basics of music theory, sight reading, musicianship, and ear training.

 

To more experienced students, I offer assistance with technique, interpretation, and preparing for auditions and competitions.

 

I provide regular opportunities for my students to perform at concerts, recitals, and less formal occasions where they can gain self-confidence through musical expression.

 

I offer a free initial interview/consultation at which we'll go over my policies and expectations, I'll answer any questions you may have, and I'll listen to the student sing or play. If you have a prepared piece, that's great, but just a verse of something like a hymn or patriotic song will do just fine also. For voice students, we'll also explore your vocal range and discuss initial singing goals.

Please read through the pages on here to learn more about my lessons, performance opportunities for students, policies, testimonials, and my experience as both a teacher and a performer. If you feel that I would be a good teacher for you or your child, contact me and let's see if we can begin a musical journey together.
