I believe music to be an innately communicative expression, with a distinct enmeshment of all major art forms: theater, dance, visual, and literary art. I approach teaching voice very naturally-properly utilizing the breath, posture, speech, and interpretation. I'm most passionate about uncovering each student's unique voice, clear of imitation and timidity. I'd like to aid in helping you sound as the most confident, competent, sensitive, and healthy "you" imaginable. I like to start using editions of Leonard's Soprano solos. Read More

For beginning students, I start out with an Italian art song out of the the 24 Italian art song book. This helps with diction, breath support, and vocal line. Once the student has progressed, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire and let the student choose a couple of songs that he or she would like to sing. For adults, I also start out with an Italian art song, but also find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction to keep the lessons engaging, encouraging, and fun no matter their ability level.

Developing a whole and healthy voice and musical ability is my ultimate goal for each student and I will make sure to find a path that fits each individual student. Read More
