My lessons are tailored to every individual client, company, organization, mission statement, etc. I customize all methods and teaching styles based on clients needs.

Most students love the fact that I can teach them based on competition material, upcoming auditions, theatre production show material, etc. Read More

For my students who are more focused on skill growth, I stress the importance of putting the technique and skills I teach into context with the songs I assign. During the hour lesson, I spend roughly 5-7 minutes warming up the voice, then we jump right into working on repertoire. I like to balance the repertoire selections with an even amount of songs chosen by me and by the student to ensure that they stay engaged and enjoy learning with me! Read More
