Teaching Experience

As a music educator I have well over 20 years experience working with students from age 3 to 90.  I have taught students from beginners to seasoned pros both in a classroom setting and one-on-one.  Current and former students have appeared on and off-Broadway, with national touring companies, in San Francisco with Beach Blanket Babylon, Teatro Zinzanni, the Empire Plush Room, the Razz Room with many opera companies, rock bands and theatre groups.  Others have been signed to record deals with major and independent labels.    In addition to managing my own successful private voice and piano studio for most of my career I have also served on the faculties of many institutions including those listed below.
