The Choral Corner

I'm a passionate music educator with over 20 years of experience teaching students from elementary school through higher education. I currently teach high school music in Rhode Island, where I lead a variety of ensembles and classes including Concert Chorus, Honors Chorus, Women's Chorus, Men's Chorus, Piano Class, Music Theory, and Unified Music. My teaching journey has also included college-level instruction at the Community College of Rhode Island, where I taught Voice Class, Private Voice, Music Theory, Opera Workshop, Opera History, Intro to Music, and Chamber Singers. I’ve also been a proud faculty member at the Music School of the Rhode Island Philharmonic. I’m here to share high-quality, classroom-tested resources that make music learning fun, accessible, and engaging for all students. Whether you’re looking for choral materials, music literacy resources, or interactive lessons, I’ve got you covered! Thanks for stopping by — and thank you for supporting music education! 🎵

I always tell my students that I’m the luckiest teacher in the building because I get to make music with them every day! As an educator, my role is to guide students in discovering their potential through a process that supports technical, artistic, musical, and personal growth. I believe every student is unique, with their own set of strengths, experiences, and learning styles. While each lesson follows a clear structure, I tailor the experience to meet the individual needs of each student for optimal success. My teaching is built on partnership. Together, we set both short- and long-term goals. I provide the tools, techniques, and guidance, while also encouraging self-exploration and discovery. As students build their vocal technique, I help them unlock their natural ability to tell stories through music—developing both confidence and connection with their audience. Achieving these goals takes commitment, consistent practice, thoughtful reflection, and a collaborative spirit—and I’m honored to be part of that journey with each student.
