Born and raised in the rustic landscapes of New Hampshire, I spent my formative years immersed in the rich tapestry of music, thanks to the inspiring influence of my parents—both talented recording artists. My mother, a classical singer with a master's degree, not only imparted her passion for music but also shaped the local community as the chair of the voice department at the Concord Community Music School, where I first began my musical journey at the tender age of six. My father was a guitarist and producer, who built the first home recording studio I know of. Together, they were the centerpiece of a local children's rock group, Peggosus. I spent most days immersed their various crafts. From the moment I stepped foot in CCMS, music became my language and my calling. At thirteen, I picked up the guitar, and it ignited a lifelong relationship with the instrument that I continue to explore. My academic pursuits took me to the Berklee College of Music, where I earned my Bachelor of Music with the highest honors, further propelling my passion for music education. My journey has taken me across the country, performing with numerous bands and absorbing a wealth of musical experiences that inform my teaching. I take pride in offering a unique singing method that delivers immediate results to my students, fostering both confidence and skill in their vocal performance. In tandem with this, my guitar-study approach transcends genre boundaries, enhancing flow and technical ability almost instantly. With a commitment to nurturing creativity and fostering a love for music, I strive to guide my students in unlocking their full potential, encouraging them to find their unique voice in the vibrant world of music.
