I have been teaching private lessons since 2009. I specialize in commercial styles (pop, rock, jazz, country, etc.) as well as musical theater.

I do not provide a strict curriculum. Instead, I form lessons based on student's needs as I feel this is more effective and more personalized.

I prided myself on not only teaching the basics of singing but how the body works in conjunction with it. I strive for my students to not only know 'how' but also 'why'. Read More
