I love the feeling of seeing my students achieve personal growth.

With adult students, the material covered is completely individual. Read More

Therefore, I am driven to cultivate musicians who embrace their humanity through their emotional intelligence and artistic command. My approach to teaching voice revolves around the three components of evidence-based pedagogy: utilizing historic practices and voice science research, drawing from my experiences in performance, education, and research, as well as evaluating the individual needs of the student.

I don't live vicariously through my students. Read More
