For example, voice lessons for a child ages 6-9 would include basic pitch matching, breath control, and memorization techniques. Voice lessons for an older learner would still require basics such as pitch matching and breath control, but would also allow for more advanced skills such as aural harmonization.

I have a dynamic, positive, and passionate teaching style. Each student is able to move at their own pace and focus on their specific needs.

I also create space for students to be themselves and create a little bit. Creativity is one of the highest levels of understanding and it's also fun! Read More
