Teacher

I began my musical journey as a young child, when I would sit at my grandmother’s upright piano and figure out songs “by ear”. If I heard something I liked on TV or the radio, I would figure out how to play it on my own!

After years of training and performing Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, I earned my degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Florida in Gainesville. After my undergraduate career, I continued performing different genres at different venues like Busch Gardens, regional musical theatre, and pop/rock/jazz at private events.

Aside from performing regularly, I began my teaching career in 2009 at the prestigious Patel Conservatory at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. After holding different positions in the conservatory, I gained further experience teaching with Sam Ash Music and Creative Keys Dunedin. I officially opened my own studio, Cavalani Music, in 2019.

I believe in providing a well-rounded musical education that will inspire students to continue their musical journey throughout the rest of their lives. Some of my goals for you will be teaching you how to read music, how to audition and perform, and how to have a fulfilling and lifelong career in the arts (on or off the stage). I will give you the foundation to build your musical dream house!
