I specialize in working with the Complete Vocal Technique as my basic teaching method. I am also a certified Yoga Instructor and have found the basic principles of Yoga to be a very helpful integration in my lessons. However, I only mix in the Yoga if you are comfortable with it.
My strengths are singing and performance techniques. Country music and gospel is where I have most of my experience.
Lesson Details
I offer two kinds of lessons. Combine the two and you have a full vocal lesson of 55 min.
Theory Lesson: I introduce you to the technique that I use, the terms and how it works, followed by examples and exercises.

On a personal note, I moved to the States in 2010 and I am slowly building my music career along side teaching vocal lessons, performance and songwriting. I have half of my family here in Seattle and the other half in Denmark, where I grew up and have lived most of my life. Although most of my life revolves around music, I am also a certified yoga instructor and yoga is a big part of my life too. It keeps me grounded and balanced and gives me a lot of energy. I am currently working on my first EP to be released hopefully in June. It's called Spiritual Cowgirl - a little nod to my too loves: Yoga and Music.
