LESSONS
Vocals
I am able to record vocals in person and remotely in my home-studio. I have a selection of dynamic and condenser microphones as well as preamps, plugins, and voice editing software (EQ, Compression, Reverb, Delay, Melodyne, Autotune, etc). I also offer lyrics, melody, and harmony writing for anyone in need of vocals for their instrumental tracks. Though I'm experienced singing in most genres, my specialties are Rock, Pop, Blues, Alternative, and Music Theatre.
I began teaching private guitar lessons in 2014. Since then I have expanded my curriculum to include piano, bass, ukulele and voice. Lessons will cover all aspects of the instrument from technique to music theory with a focus on your preferred genre(s). Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced musician looking to refine your skills, I can help you grow!
