Genres and Subjects Taught

I have a Masters in Music with a double emphasis in Music Education and Theory Composition!  My main passion is the voice, but I also have a background in piano as well.  I am happy to teach any vocal repetoire, piano, ukulele, composition, music theory, etc...The wonderful thing about a liberal arts education is that it prepares you for a variety of subjects!

Lesson Rates

I generally charge $25 per half hour and have studios in the San Dimas and Rancho Cucamonga location.  I am available for online or Skype lessons at your leisure, and sometimes consider traveling to a student's home if it is within a reasonable distance (additional fees may apply).

I have worked with students as young as 3, and adults as mature as 72!  It's never too early or too late to pursue your dreams of the arts!
