Voice Lessons in West Hills, CA

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have worked as an educator in a variety of settings, as well as been the recipient of countless voice lessons, vocal coachings, workshops, and masterclasses. In my experience, it is the teacher that carefully balances warm support and nurturance with clearly communicated expectations that yields the best results. Singing is a vulnerable thing, and opening yourself up to feedback about your voice for the purpose of improvement can be even scarier. Read More

I have a wide variety of performance experience in piano, vocal performance, and composition.

I have also an extensive background as a choral performer (both secular and religious settings). I have taught students of all ages in music practice, theory, and foreign language in both group and individual settings. Read More

I've been teaching in the greater Los Angeles area for almost 20 years, teaching students from ages 4 - 92 (yes, really! 92!). Levels range from beginning to professional, with advanced students having won scholarships and awards. I encourage all of my students to learn the language of music; to learn about their instrument and the best means of expression using that instrument.  For the past 8 years, lessons have been supplemented with an annual holiday recital where students have the opportunity to perform, which is an important part of the learning process!

I believe it is important to build a strong technical foundation and knowledge of the mechanics of the voice, while also focusing on performance and real-world musicianship. With contemporary music theory (beginning to advanced) integrated into each lesson, students learn to understand and apply a musical vocabulary that is necessary to communicate in the industry. As a vocalist myself, I think too often singers have trouble communicating with their bands in a rehearsal setting or with producers and engineers in a recording setting; therefor I see the benefit in students being able to identify the grooves and "feels" of their selected pieces as well as being able to count-in a band.
