I have 30 years of teaching experience and have enjoyed a successful singing, teaching and conducting career in the US and Australia. I have excellent piano skills and can sight-read and play most piano accompaniments for my voice students. No two students are alike so I teach everyone according to their needs and their learning style. I have an exceptional understanding of the voice and communicate using tangible imagery to produce excellent results. I work with all levels of singers from beginners to career level in Broadway, Pop and Classical styles. Beyond university training, I have had training from teachers and coaches from the Metropolitan Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Arizona Opera and many others.

Practice is important for progress so the more you practice the faster you progress.

Because there is always more to learn, I...

I'm one of those teachers who has been 'around the block'. I started playing music (drums/guitar) mostly by ear as a kid, but gradually decided I probably needed lessons to go further. So since about age 18 I've taken many years of voice lessons, a couple of piano, and have gone on to both teaching and performing with 'Dueling Pianos' - one of the zaniest, most fun live shows you could go see. I have roots both in rock/pop and self-instruction, and then also a more formal structure, so I'm able to help kids (and adults!) get a well-rounded point of view.

I was educated at Hampshire College for Vocal Performance and Composition. Hampshire is a unique, multi-disciplinary school which emphasizes hands-on learning and personal responsibility for one's education. So I had a fair 'all-around' music education; my years there culminated in a senior thesis which earned accolades at the school; a thesis which included both a voice recital, and the performance of a...

I have been a private and group voice instructor for students of all ages over twelve years. I am also a director of musical theater and drama instructor. As a performer, I have experience in a wide variety of genres including performances in operas, musicals, choirs, gospel groups, and as a worship leader and concert soloist. I graduated from Azusa Pacific University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education and Vocal Performance and earned her Masters of Music in Vocal Arts from the University of Southern California. 

I studied voice at Brigham Young University. My musical studies continued at a college in California. I later took private Masters classes from my former professor, Ray Arbizu. Mr.Arbizu had been a leading opera singer in Germany before teaching at B.Y.U.

I've been a choir conductor and music director on and off since 1973.

I had several piano teachers, one of whom had taken from a concert pianist.

I've been teaching privately for 17 years.

I sing professionally.

Music brings me great joy. It is wonderful to share it with my students.
