Specialties

As an opera and musical theater, Oratorio and church singer, I help singers of all levels improve within their genre from popular music to opera. A good singing technique will help performers in any style stay healthy and enjoy an expressive singing instrument.

Lesson Details

I am persistent and positive. Having worked and performed with singers and master teachers has helped me to be a resourceful teacher who understands the process of becoming a singer. I believe that a sense of fun and play helps you to accomplish your goals quickly. For beginners you will learn how the voice works and how to care for and develop your instrument. We will choose music that interests you and helps to build your voice. Understanding music theory and sight-reading will help you ... get the most out of your singing. For the advanced student, I can help you work on trouble spots and give you tools to help with the changes that voices naturally go through.
After 3 - 6 months you should have a good command of breathing and an understanding of how to sing with an expressive tone. I look forward to giving you my full focus and celebrating your growth and accomplishments!

About

I have a Master’s in Opera Performance from the Boston and New England Conservatories as well as graduating from Vocal Performance programs at Boston University and Western Washington University. I have sung professionally with Boston Lyric Opera, Children’s Theater Companies, churches and synagogue. I love to premier new music and have toured in Athens, Greece. I have worked with small children as a Musikgarten teacher as well as touring artist residency programs which introduce ... children to music and theater in schools.

My students have had successful auditions for college opera programs and music theater productions They gain a larger vocal range and an easy, natural way of singing whether it is in a rock band or a church choir. Together we find the joy of singing as well as building a singing technique.

I have taught at the College of St. Benedict/St. John’s University and local music studios as well as maintaining my private teaching practice.
