Voice Lessons
Jackie uses science-based methods to help students strengthen their chest voice, head voice, and mixed voice. While building a robust vocal foundation, students are also encouraged to choose from any style that they are interested in studying, such as jazz, pop, R&B, classical, etc. Jackie is a highly flexible teacher and will be able to help students build a diverse repertoire as well as improve on any area of skills they are interested in exploring.
Piano Lessons
Jackie takes a systematic approach when it comes to piano pedagogy. Students are given opportunities to build technical dexterity through piano fundamentals, such as scales, arpeggios, and fingering exercises. Depending on the student’s interest, different levels of contemporary music theory will be introduced. For example, jazz students will receive additional information on modes and improvisation. No matter the style, Jackie always breaks down difficult passages into small manageable pieces so that students can learn effectively and enjoy playing the piano along the way.
