Broadway Singing Lessons in Severance. Amazing Teachers.

My voice teachers included an acclaimed European opera star, a Broadway veteran, and a Hollywood singing sensation, so I learned to sing by working with the best of the best! Whether you are looking to break into Broadway or create a foundation for opera, I have experience in not only training the voice to create healthy powerful consistent sound, but also getting your foot in the door to book that job or get into that music or theatre program. I am proud to work with my students to achieve goals while keeping a healthy growth mindset that will keep them motivated in your work. Can't wait to get started with you!

Grammy Award winning singer, stage performer, recording artist, actor and teacher. Classically trained, international opera singer, soprano. Highly knowledgable in vocal technique, breathing, and repertoire in classic literature as well as musical theatre, pop, standards, and jazz. Past students have performed world-wide, on Broadway, Opera and Symphonic stages, in concert with bands and numerous recording studios. ***I work with students to help them understand their instrument, build a healthy vocal technique that works within the style of singing they are interested in. Lessons consist of vocal exercises and work on repertoire/songs. I play piano and accompany my students either live or through an accompaniment track that I record. I accept students age 10 and above, at all levels of study. I am personable, fun, and patient, and want my students be the best singer they can be!***

As a child actor in New York City I enjoyed singing in musicals and also playing in pit orchestras for Broadway Shows.
