    Study voice with an experienced performer and teacher

    Areas of expertise are primarily classical voice and musical theater. I have over 15 years of formal vocal training and am a working professional singer with a growing performance career. I use my training in musicianship, theory, and music history, as well as acting and dance to help students with all aspects of music-making and performance in addition to vocal technique.

    Announcements: -If you have a particular timeslot in mind, but I don't appear available on my calendar, please ask! -Before booking for the first time, PLEASE MESSAGE me to make sure the time slot you have in mind is available, and ideally have a few options that might work. I have students from other platforms as well, and the studio schedule sometimes changes quickly. - I am fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19, and teaching in person. Except in the event of a medical waiver, vaccinations (and boosters as appropriate) are a requirement for all students for in-person lessons. I hold a both Master's and Bachelor's degrees in music, and have studied with singers who have had international careers and performed with artists who have performed at major opera houses around the world. I myself am an active performer of classical vocal music with a growing career. I teach both classical and musical theater to beginners of all ages, stressing healthy use of the voice and having fun! I teach primarily students who feel they would like study singing on an ongoing basis. I rarely teach people on a short-term "one or two lessons before an audition" type of basis. Regardless of my availability calendar, please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or about scheduling a lesson as I often do have flexibility. I look forward to hearing from you! *** Lesson Details *** -Lessons involve the building of vocal technique through exercises, followed by working on song repertoire. -Children under 10 work on their own curriculum combining building musicianship skills along with vocal technique. -Initial trial lessons are encouraged, but students who wish to continue should be able to commit to regular lessons. *** Specialties *** -opera -lieder/German art song -"legit" musical theater -young children Home Studio Note: I teach out of my home, which is also home to two cats. They can be kept out of the music room, but people with serious cat allergies may be bothered.
