I have been teaching and performing for over 30 years in my home studio in the Orlando area. I teach technique, all styles/genres, stage presence, mic technique, audition, & demo CD prep,and sight-singing, to ages 7 on up. I gear the lessons to the individual students' goals and needs. I have and have had many sucessful professional and talented amateur singers grow and progress within my studio. Many of them perform in nightclub venues, theme parks, and theatres in the Central Florida area. One of my former students, just opened for Lisa Loeb's concert in downtown Orlando. This same student, John, has 2 albums of his own, and several students are signed by recording labels and touring. Students are encouraged to use their talents and regularly perform in recitals, community theatre, church, school, and community choirs, contests,& talent shows.

Michael first sang on stage, at the age of 3, the same time that he began learning piano.

Jill holds a Bachelor's degree in Music Education and has master's work in choral music. For many years she has taught private and group music lessons to all ages and many varying styles of singing and instrumental music. Her lessons are unlike the ones she remembers from childhood; Jill's lessons are full of fun and excitement each week. It is amazing how students react to Jill's great humor and the lessons certainly prove that learning is a process. Jill brings more than just technique to the studio.

Having been a soloist herself, Jill knows what it takes to prepare and rehearse and therefore she makes it clear which concept the student will learn each week. With an instrumental and choral background, Jill brings music to life and then shares with the students how to keep music in their lives forever.
