My Teaching Style
With my degree in music production I have taught classes, private lessons, and I have been the lead full time teacher at the Musicians Woodshed for 2 years now. I have recorded in several professional studios and I enjoy producing in my home studio. Singing on stage with my band, After Aristotle is my passion! I can teach you how to be an integral part of a band and play along to your favorites!
Sessions consist of following lesson plans, learning student chosen compositions, inspiring and encouraging creative abilities, warm-up and strengthening exercises, proper technique, listening exercises, composition skills, scales, fingerings, chords, and overall really how to get a great sound and feel from your instrument/voice.
I specialize in working with ages 5-16 but have experience working with students as young as 3 and as "experienced" as 65. I enjoy working with all ages!

-- Parent of Current Student
"Kera has a wide range of expertise and she's very casual.
...She’s been very good at figuring out exactly why I struggle so much when singing and suggestions on how to fix it. She’s given me simple tools to use for fixing my problems, and I’m still working on it, but these have helped as I practice with them. I highly recommend that you consider Kera."
