Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Canyon, CA

I am a specialist for singers who are interested in identifying how to work with their own particular voice and to explore how it works in order to sing and perform better. I work with intermediate and advanced singers and performers. Understanding how your own particular instrument actually works is the most important work you will ever do as a singer.

I have been singing since I was a baby, according to my mother, my first music teacher. I thought it was mother's pride till I held a 10-month old baby, sang to her and she sang back to me. I have been teaching since the age of 14 and have over 40 years experience singing professionally. With my university chorus we traveled 2 months throughout the States and culminated with concerts at the Kennedy Ctr Washington D.C. & Lincoln Ctr, NY. I sing in 34 languages covering most genres from classical to musical theater, choral to folk-rock, Brasilian jazz & standards to alternative & world music. My approach is holistic, incorporating multidisciplinary subjects with lots of fun ways to learn, explore and express yourself. Tune in!

Objectively listening to oneself and developing a discriminating ear for your sound is essential to successful development.
