My teaching style is personalized, encouraging, and student-centered. I meet each student where they are, whether they’re preparing for an audition, performing live, writing their own songs, or singing just for fun. I believe lessons should feel supportive and motivating, with the right mix of structure and creativity. I set realistic goals that keep students progressing steadily and celebrate each breakthrough, no matter how small. I love helping students discover what makes their voice unique and giving them the tools and confidence to use it with joy and freedom. Read More

I prefer to begin students when they are at least 9 or 10 years old, but I have taught younger students who were auditioning for Broadway shows and have the ability to understand concepts of breathing and focus.

Many of my students have been successful on stage, in auditions, competitions, and in gaining acceptance into music schools across the country.
