Academic Background
Singing is an incredibly vulnerable process because it involves your mind, soul, and body. My primary goal in the studio is to create an environment where the student feels safe in trying new things, failing, and trying again. A typical lesson will start with catching up about the student’s life and work. Then, we transition into technical exercises that are tailored to the student to build proficiency in singing. The last half of the lesson is spent focusing on literature. At the end of the lesson, we will set goals and assignments for the coming week.

My purpose in life is to train the next generation of musicians that will use music to improve and change their world. Anderson University’s forward looking curriculum, excellent facilities, and focus on integration of faith and learning gives me the tools I need to train excellent musicians.
The people. One of Anderson’s four pillars is hospitality and that is evident when you are on campus. I greatly appreciate the family like atmosphere at AU.
