Instruments: Voice Music

I completed their rigorous course of study and became a Certified McClosky Voice Technician (CMVT) in 2017. Studying the McClosky Voice Technique opened up a whole new world for me and my skill with speaking and singing improved dramatically.

Instruments: Flute

I am a musician who believes that I am a better performer because I teach, and I am a better teacher because I perform.
