Music has been an important part of my life and I have enjoyed teaching piano and voice lessons since 1998. I began studying the piano at the age of 8 and began studying voice with a private teacher at the age of 16. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from Penn State and a Master of Music degree in Voice Performance and Pedagogy from the Westminster Choir College. I am pleased to currently be teaching students of all ages in State College, PA.
Note:
Studying the arts enriches our lives. Many experts have researched and shown how studying music and the arts is a benefit for those of all ages. Books such as The Mozart Effect by Don Campbell illustrate some of the positive influences of studying music. The College Entrance Examination Board reported in 1996 that students with experience in musical performance scored 51 points higher on the verbal part of the SAT and 39 points higher on the math section than the national average (Campbell 117).
