Specialties

I specialize in classical voice. This includes opera, art song (French melodie, German lieder, etc.), and folk songs. I can also teach musical theater (broadway)

Lesson Details

I am a laid-back teacher with a focus on pedagogy. This means that vocal health comes first! It is very important to me to teach safe and healthy vocal technique. The first few lessons will be spent just vocalizing, then we'll start working on a song picked specifically for you! After just a few months, you'll be amazed at how your breath support, resonance, and tone quality have improved.

About

I have a Master's in vocal performance from the University of Washington, where I sang the role of the Witch in "Hansel and Gretel". I've also sung Cherubino in "The Marriage of Figaro", the Mother in "The Consul", Third Lady in "The Magic Flute", and Hippolyta in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". I also sing with the Seattle Opera chorus, where I get to be around so many amazing singers everyday. I recently underwent a change from mezzo-soprano to soprano, and I'm loving it! My favorite song ... composers include Mahler and Brahms, and a few of my favorite operas include "The Barber of Seville", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and Carmen.
