Voice: The voice is a fascinating instrument. We use it every day from the moment we're born and it is constantly changing as we progress through life. I love guiding singers through these changes and unlocking their true voice with individualized curricula that cater to what the voice needs.

I start lessons with an assessment that helps me determine the technical abilities and musical abilities of the singer. Read More

For more advanced singers, I am able to help prepare for auditions or performances and focus more on the quality and control of the voice. Read More

Teaching should be fun for both the teacher and student! I truly believe that the teacher should learn as much from the teacher as the student learns.

The voice is such an innate part of you--no one's vocal instrument is exactly like yours! Read More
