“The School of Performing Arts, which includes our Conservatory of Music, has provided me with more training and support than I ever could have hoped for. From vocal lessons to dance classes and instructing for acting and auditioning. Now, I’m prepared to follow my dreams and someday, you’ll be seeing me on the big screen.”

My teaching style is conversational, focused on helping students establish and cultivate good habits for musical and scholarly growth—habits they can employ for the rest of their lives.”
