Education
Teaching is life. I want to provide the kind of educational experience that stimulates the imagination just as much as my character performances. Most importantly, I want to pass on and share the love of music and theatre that has lit up my life.
Private Lessons
Voice and piano can be taught separately or together. I enjoy not only teaching the basic concepts you can receive from any teacher, but also building the foundations for the skills necessary to explore your craft and take it to the next level - From developing the musical ear in preparation for song writing, to incorporating performance and professional planning into the lessons of your potential rockstar.
Piano lessons typically begin at 5-6 years old and voice lessons at 7-8, but I am more than happy to do a trial run with a younger child and figure out the best education plan for them!
Come in and see for yourself. First lessons are FREE!
Music n' Me
For ages infant-5. We explore a new instrument every week, sing, dance, serenade, and play games! Best of all, we incorporate vocabulary into each lesson for their educational benefit as well as yours! As your child grows, we also offer transitional Music n' Me classes for a more classroom-oriented setting and higher expectations of retention. Kids who are involved in our Music n' Me classes are consistently ready for private lessons sooner than children who are not!
First class is FREE!
Once More with Feeling!
My pride and joy. This summer camp is still in the early stages of development and we are excited to share our first summer with you!
The camp will take place during the last three weeks of July - July 14th-August 1st - at the Lincolnwood American Legion. It is a full day camp divided into morning and afternoon sessions. Sign up for one, the other, or both!
Morning classes will feature a variety of workshops dealing with concepts of music and theatre! Vocal performance (telling a story while singing), Monologues, improv games, puppetry, stage makeup and basic FX, costume construction, and MUCH MORE!
The afternoon will be dedicated to development as performers and rehearsal for the show, "Help I Need a Vacation!" which will be performed at the end of the session!
Since this is our very first run, we are prepared to be very competitively priced!
