Students will learn about all the areas of the body in which the voice can travel, articulation and enunciation, and a huge array of vocal exercise. Read More

We all want to SING. But preparing for this act, there are lots of things one needs to do. I believe that a voice is a composite of everything you've ever read and done. Lessons begin by my getting all contact info from students; as well as giving them ways to call or email me. Asking how much time they want to devote to developing this skill; and what their ultimate goal is. Read More

I've been teaching students from age 5 to age 85. With my younger students, when they arrive at lessons, I asked them for their numbers. The numbers are the amount of minutes each younger student practices per day. I tell all of my students you should target a minimum of 35 minutes per day, per instrument. It has been my experience over 35 years of teaching, you always improve and enjoy music with the 35 minute minimum. Read More
