I absolutely love to help my students get more comfortable with their singing voices, have fun, and do what they love. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has started to grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance.
