location:

  • In Studio: Lessons are given at my studio, which is located at 740 N. 2800 W. Ogden, Utah 84404. For Directions on Google  - CLICK HERE 
  • Bountiful Music: I  teach one day a week at Bountiful Music.  If you are closer to Bountiful and would rather go there please let me kow and I can see what times might be open. 
  • Online lessons:  I offer zoom lessons if you are out the area and would prefer to do online. 

what ages i teach:

  • 16+ is my preferred age.  
  • I don't work with children under 15. If you have a young student who is interested in getting some vocal coaching, I would suggest enrolling them into a group program which works specifically with young voices.  
  • Why?  My process is more intense than most young students are able to keep up with, and most young voices aren't ready to take on the kind of muscle work that I ask them to do.  
  • Where can young students go to learn? There are a number of good instructors/groups in the are who are perfect for students under 15.  If you need recommendations - feel free to reach out via email and I'd be happy to give you some suggestions. 

How long are lessons: 

  • All lessons are 1 hour in length.  I don't teach anythng shorter than an hour.  

What YOU need to know ABOUT TAKING LESSONS:

  • I play live for all students, but we also use instrumental tracks in our lessons when needed. 
  • I use an online student portal which allows all students and parents 24/7 access to their music. Once lessons are scheduled, access will be give for full usage. 
  • Students are expected to arrive on time and with all necessary materials. This may include sheet music, a recording device, water, notebook etc. I provide water for refillable bottles - so bring them! 
  • If you are only looking for a short term coach that's fine.  I will push you as hard or soft as you want me to - but I also expect students to be proactive and practice at home.  You need to practice to improve! 
  • RECITALS: I do have rectials for all of my students who are ready.  Yes, sometimes students aren't ready. We decide that together. ​​
  • Please be patient with yourself.  I will be patient with you! It's a new experience  and you will be learning new mental and muscle processes.
