Regardless of the age of the student, I want to ensure that the music we work on is both enjoyable for them and healthy for their voice.

These have simpler melodies and engaging text that help younger students stay interested. For beginning students that are 12-18, I will begin with folk songs and musical theatre songs, moving to art song and classical pieces. Read More
