Being fortunate enough to have been able to study voice and perform as a singer for most of my life, it seemed a logical progression to share that experience and begin teaching. Over the past 8 years I have taught and coached both privately and in group settings as well as being a Vocal Consultant for both film and theatre around Los Angeles and New York City.      I am proud to say that my students have had a vast array of musical successes.  From being cast on Glee, to being accepted into prestigious music academies, to conquering the Karaoke scene, my students continue to inspire and motivate me!

We start each lesson with proper breathing technique, the cornerstone of all vocals.  We then move on to various vocal exercises to help condition the voice.  Then we will work on the songs that interest you and that you are eager to sing!     I will use a piano for warm ups and conditioning exercises.  Whenever possible I like to use a pre-recorded accompaniment for the songs we are working on.  This frees me up to listen to you sing rather than concentrating on my own playing.  Students that play another instrument and wish to accompany themselves while performing (such as a guitar) are encouraged to bring that instrument to the lesson.
