Youth players
Working with kidsWith children, I start by getting to know them, asking about their interests, and sharing a bit about myself. I focus on breathing exercises, pitch matching while I sing or play notes, and simple rhythm patterns. If they are able to read, I also begin introducing easy notation. I usually give them a very simple song in the first lesson to see how quickly they pick it up, and from there I build step by step, always keeping the lessons clear, supportive, and encouraging.
Working with teenagersWith teenagers, I balance structure with their growing independence and interests. I begin by learning about their goals, whether that is singing for fun, preparing for auditions, or improving technique. Like with all students, I start with breathing exercises, pitch matching, and rhythm patterns, but I also encourage them to reflect on their progress and take ownership of practice. I introduce songs that connect with their age and taste, gradually expanding into different styles so they can explore versatility. When possible, I weave in sight-reading and musicianship skills to give them a stronger foundation. Above all, I create a supportive space that builds their confidence while also challenging them to grow as singers and performers.
