Lessons

Each person comes with unique abilities and needs; we’ll use varied evidence-based methods adapted to you, so you feel empowered as you gain musical skills. It’s also important that the music we work on speaks to you, so repertoire includes a variety of genres: musical theater, classical, jazz, opera and contemporary popular music.

Teaching music is my calling; it is a passion I’ve cultivated since I started more than 25 years ago. My goal is to spark a life-long love of music; lead by joy, curiosity, exploration, tenacity, and artistic expression. 

  • I have open voice, piano, and ukulele spots on Monday-Friday

  • Lessons can be in-person (Portland, Rose City Park neighborhood) or online (via Zoom). 

  • Available for kids, teens and adults, from beginners to advanced performers.

  • Lessons are open-ended; students are encouraged to make a commitment of ongoing weekly lessons.

  • Advanced students who have a specific shorter-term goal (e.g. an upcoming audition, recovery from an illness, technical coaching for a performance) are encouraged to come for drop-in lessons as needed.

  • Voice and ukulele are available as an individual or small group lesson (bring a friend!), piano is available as an individual lesson. 

  • Sight-singing, music theory, and songwriting can be taken as stand-alone lessons or incorporated into vocal and instrumental lessons. 

  • Masking is up to individuals, though I will be masked.

  • You can read more about how it all works in the studio policies.
