music tutoring & classes
Tutoring opportunities are offered on an individual basis to students at a rate of $30/half hour and can be added onto singing lessons either before or after if the schedule allows. Group settings of these classes can be arranged for homeschool and community groups. Please contact me for details.
music theory
Learn the fundamentals and building blocks of music, from the basics of clefs, intervals, and the structure of chords to more advanced music analysis and listening/sight-reading techniques.
music history
Learn more about how music came to be from the beginning of time to the present through the study of specific pieces of music in context of the time period, place of composition, political, social, and intellectual structures of the day. Study also puts music within the context of the composer and their life/body of work. Study is heavy on listening to music critically. Music from all genres will be represented in this study.
diction and international phonetic alphabet (ipa)
Teaches students the International Phonetic Alphabet starting with applications in English and Italian languages and eventually moving on to German and French for more advanced students. Equips singers with valuable knowledge to sing language more accurately and clearly. Gives them tools to be self-reliant in their study of new music.
advanced song & opera study
This private study offers students the ability to dive deeply into the study of a particular style, nationality, or composer of art song with guidance from the teacher. It also allows students to study specific composers, eras, styles, or works of opera and theater. Guided but independent study.
Study could also encompass a critical listening of operatic or song repertoire.

Homeschool groups
