I have been teaching since 2011 and have my Master's of Music in vocal performance from San Francisco Conservatory of Music, with a Bachelor in Music Vocal performance from University of California Irvine. I specialize in teaching classical art song and opera, but am also passionate about teaching the musical theater repertoire and popular genres. My goal is to inspire students to explore the sound and meaning of the music beyond the written page. I believe deeper understandings give way to stronger and more professional performances. I work closely with students to help them develop strong basics and a concrete foundation, giving them the tools to achieve their goals in music.

Opera is all about flexibility and support! Let me help you get the techniques and conditioning necessary to sustain through a long recitative or soar through an aria.

We will work on proper breath technique, vocal conditioning, vocal placement, identifying and expanding your range, note sustain and power. Work on Arias that that will showcase your voice as well as ones that will challenge you to grow. Work on proper pronunciation of foreign language text.

I have coached with some of the best in LA, NYC and West Palm Beach and am ready to share! Classical voice is a serious business but that doesn't mean it can't be loads of fun! Let's get that voice free from top to bottom. When it's free you can use it to express all the things your artist soul is longing to say!

Classical vocal technique with a contemporary application. A solid classical vocal foundation crosses over into any style of music you wish to sing. I am a classically trained opera singer (UCLA: BA Vocal Performance, Graduate Studies: École Normale de Musique de Paris) who performs in both classical (opera and choral) and non-classical musical settings (musical theater, jazz, and pop).

There is only one way to discover if you have talent for singing Opera, is to take few lessons with an opera singer!
Even if there's something missing for the big voice, there is always a great technique that comes with studying classical singing.

I have been involved in vocal music including Classical / Opera / Broadway and Jazz for over 50 years. This includes training vocalist for over 45 years as a choir director (children to adults). During my time as a choir director I have also spent many hours privately coaching and training students privately. I hold a BA degree in Vocal Performance.

I love guiding my students to explore their singing voice and full artistic expression. I have a signature Vocal Registration Color Chart I formulated to provide a visual and concrete understanding of the different registers of 'colors' of the voice to be used for singing in different singing styles. My students have found this concrete visual to be immensely helpful to expand their range and for quickly switch singing styles since learning these shades of the voice is quite an abstract learning experience otherwise.

I also teach healthy vocal technique through successful breath support, effective vowel modification, and increased self-awareness and freedom in the body.

Aside from my signature Color Chart, what makes me unique is that I also provide Holistic Performance Coaching for serious vocal students ages 14+. This is a dive into personal, professional, and artistic growth. Fun & formal guided self-inquiry, goal-setting for audition and performance opportunities, ...

I studied Audio Engineering and Vocal Performance at MI since I was 15 years old. Music became my passion and that's why you'll love this class. They are all customized and all ages welcome. I'm bilingual (English and Spanish)and I teach an Italian technique named Bel Canto. My voice was completely different before learning it, it felt weak and not good enough. Now it's completely different, it's fuller and powerful. You want that power in your voice, singing becomes more fun, no stress about those runs or high notes. This technique helps you getting to pretty high notes without even struggling and I'll also teach you the essentials of songwriting. My classes are fun but still pretty serious. My goal is to make your voice sound killer. Let's prepare you for that audition, that concert, that recording session. You'll feel different, you'll be 100% more confident. Like I always tell my students: DO IT OR DO NOT, THERE'S NO TRY.
