To all potential students,
I believe that my education in vocal technique and my 10+ years of performing either solo or with an ensemble can be an asset to you.
I’ve had 3 years of formal vocal training from High School and College, have studied music theory as a music major in college, and am well versed in a wide variety of music, whether it be disco, musical theater, R&B, and rock. With all that I teach, there will be an emphasis on ear-training. Knowing how to listen to music is just as important as performing.
I formerly worked as a Physical Therapist Assistant from 2005-2020. If not for the pandemic, I would perform regularly either as a solo artist or with my band, The Bannermen, as well as random collaborations with people who either need an extra vocalist or as guitar accompaniment. I have been a performing musician since 2013.
I believe that our time together will be mutually beneficial. As restrictions are lifted and is considered safe, I am available to do in-person lessons in Chicago and the surrounding areas. You can find me at Phil Circle Music located in the Flatiron Arts building at 1579 N Milwaukee Ave Unit 305, Chicago, IL 60622. My availability may be subject to change, depending on whether I am performing, but I'll always let my students know ahead of time.
