I believe everyone has the ability to sing … some better than others, of course, -- but regardless, I believe every voice can make a beautiful sound. I believe learning to sing requires team work: with the proper instruction and learning tools from me, the instructor, and with the dedication (practice, practice, practice) from you, the student, a well-rounded singer can emerge.

I began singing when I was five years old in church. I continued singing exclusively inspirational music until I was a teenager. At that time, in addition to the second soprano part I sang in a five-part harmony
a Capella (without instrumental accompaniment) Gospel group, I also sang in a couple of bands (Rhythm and Blues, and Jazz). My undergraduate studies were completed at the American University, where I majored in Communications (B.A.), and minored in Music, voice being my instrument. During my undergraduate studies, I was recruited and performed as the lead female vocalist for a Rock band...

Elementary school principal and music teacher for more than 10 years. BA in Music theory and history, Recording and performing experience.

I believe that the well being of the student is the most important thing a teacher must be concerned about. I can provide professional instruction while still having fun in a very relaxed atmosphere.

I believe the bond between a student and a teacher should be comparable to a very close friend. Someone you can talk to comfortably and someone you can depend upon to help you succeed. Through personal experience I have seen a difference in learning between a strict cold teacher vs one that is kind, sociable and caring of the well being of the student., not just in matters having to do with the studies themselves but overall happiness as well.

My style of teaching is very laid back and relaxed. I would like to take it at a pace in which the student is comfortable with the material before moving forward. Reinforcing the basics before moving onto more advanced material.

I believe everyone who wants to learn how to sing can do so! no matter the age. It doesn't matter if your 5...

With almost 20 years of music and theater related experience, and over 10 years as a vocal coach, I start each day fresh with a desire to pass on my passion for the arts.

I have acquired my Bachelor of Music Degree in Voice Performance from Mason Gross School of the Arts in 1997, and am currently working towards my Master of Secondary Education Degree with a proposed graduation date of May 2011. Along with my traditional schooling, I have taken several Master Classes in Acting Technique and Voice-over.

Music and teaching music have been my passions for as long as I can remember! Throughout my career as a student, I have explored many musical paths and instruments. All these experiences contributed to making me the well-rounded and intelligent musician I am today.

My undergraduate degree is from West Chester University of Pennsylvania in Music education where I am certified to teach any music from students K-12. Currently, I am pursuing a masters degree in Vocal Performance and Opera from the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University where I study under Phyllis Bryn-Julson.

Although singing is my #1 passion, I encourage students to play instruments and explore other musical outlets. Musical instruments I've learned and performed with include: piano, french horn, mallet percussion, classical guitar, and saxophone. Music has so much to offer - take advantage of it now!

I love music and I love teaching! I started out with a passion for musical theater, and eventually I developed a love for opera and art songs. I love how singing requires both physical awareness and mental focus, and I will strive to teach the balance of these aspects. Whether you want to gear up for karaoke or learn how to sing an Italian aria, I can offer you advice and training to help you meet your goals.

I've had a great deal of experience reaching out to students of all ages. I taught undergraduates while finishing my masters degree in Chicago, and while performing outreach with the San Diego Opera and Anchorage Opera. Outside of music, I love competing in triathlons!

I am an international singer/songwriter, performer and teacher with a home-base in Baltimore, Maryland. I enjoy teaching the love of music through the medium that makes most sense to you, either voice, guitar, songwriting or French horn. Through teaching, I feel I am giving back what was given to me, the pure joy of performing. I love helping people find and connect with their music.

As a performer, I have played up and down the east coast and at such venues as CenterStage in Baltimore, MD, Ebenezer's in Washington, DC, and The Vagabond in New York, NY. I perform with my band, my duo goatFISH, my house music band t3N and my poetry/music collaboration Mother Ruckus. I am also hired on occasion for studio work.
