PERSONALITY
Fawn is a very fun, yet strict, honest & straight-forward coach. She loves working with adults & children & enjoys helping her students reach their goals & meet their dreams. Being that music & the entertainment business are her career & life, she is current & relevant, yet has plenty of old school training to be well rounded & provide a solid musical foundation for her clients. Over the years she has been known to bring students into her inner circle, so they can gain more experience & exposure, taking them to red carpets, events & putting them up onstage to perform. She remembers being frustrated by piano, voice & songwriting instructors who were not addressing issues that she knew needed to be addressed. This is why she troubleshoots issues & creates a positive, comfortable & safe environment so students can open up & progress quickly. Fawn moves straight to the heart of the matter & gets whatever needs work figured out, so students can move on to what their goals & dreams are.
