Chosen as Teacher of the Week February 27th, 2012! Profiled on Takelessons.com Facebook page.

I've led a life dedicated to teaching and performing. I have two degrees in music- a Masters degree in Voice Performance and Teaching, and a Bachelors in Music Education. I've been teaching voice for six years at a local university and I have worked with actors, dancers, and artists in every style of music. My graduate studies broadened my teaching tools and I can't wait to share them with you!

Currently, I am working on a career as an opera singer. I am studying privately with my teacher from graduate school and my pianist- coach, who helps me with interpretation and clarity in my singing. I took private acting lessons that helped me sing my music with emotional honesty, and helped me look good on stage. With being a student so recently myself, it makes me so excited to help students make their own discoveries.

I have also taught at university summer programs for high school...

I am a professional opera singer who also sings art song, musical theater, and I have a special place in my heart for vocal jazz. I have a Bachelor degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Iowa, and a Master Degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

I can help you feel comfortable singing your favorite music in any venue, and I look forward to helping you discover the joy you can feel making music with your voice.

Learning music, especially at a young age, can have a positive impact in life. From simply playing music in the home to performing music for large audiences, the basic goal is the same: the enjoyment of being a proficient musician. I have written a bit about my experience and how I can use this to help you to become a great musician.
I began studying music when I was 8 years old. My early lessons taught me not only about music but about music teaching. As a result of these experiences, I vowed to teach students music that is meaningful to them.
Moving along, in high school I played in rock bands with my friends. I can never stress how important it is to play with other people. I always encourage my students to form bands, join music groups in school, or just find a friend to jam with. Not only does this raise the level of musicality, it is a great motivational tool.
After high school, I studied music at...

I have been singing for as long as I can remember. It is my very favorite activity. I have transformed my love of singing into a career.
I have been teaching music lessons for over 25 years. When you study with me you will have the advantage of that experience. I have extensive experience teaching students of all ages. Throughout my teaching career I have taught students with varied backgrounds and diverse needs. If you are a person who was told not to sing by your music teacher, don't give up! I have taught many children and adults to match pitches and improve their singing voices.

I earned a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Moravian College and a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from Temple University. While at Temple, I studied standard vocal repertoire and Early Music. I have also completed graduate courses in Early Childhood and Elementary Education at West Chester University.
I served on the faculty of Suburban Music School for 17 years where...

I teach because I love people and I love to see student's excitement for what they are learning. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to allow my passion for music and the voice spur on future performers!
Over my life I have had a love for music. I've studied, piano, flute, and dance, but singing and performing keeps me coming back!
I had the privilege of studying with artist in residence Augusto Paglialunga at West Virginia University where I received my degree in Vocal Performance. Mr. Paglialunga taught me the importance of starting with a healthy voice no matter what style I planned on performing. From singing opera or jazz in college to singing pop music while touring the country, I first start with a healthy voice and every style falls into place.
