Classical Voice Lessons in Cohutta. Amazing Teachers.

I love to work with novice and professional singers to improve pitch, tone, range, and song delivery. We will have both enrichment and fun learning to optimize your voice to assess your skills, strengths, and weaknesses, and then tailor lessons according to your needs and specifications. I love to incorporate physical activities into lessons and fun games!

25 years of teaching voice has given me the joy of helping singers of all ages and abilities realize their full vocal potential. As a vocal technician, my approach to teaching is based on the principles of vocal science, as well as my own proven theories. My students not only increase their range, vocal strength and develop a better tone, many of them have gone on to perform in major theaters throughout the nation. Whether you are a musical theater, opera, rock, jazz or pop singer, my technique will help you trust your voice and free you to be creatively expressive.

I was trained originally as a classical vocalist and was able to use these Technics as a base for branching out into every genre out there!

What are your singing goals? From singing in the shower and feeling like a rock star or for a role in a regional show, as a gigging musician or preparing for professional auditions, my students and I work closely together to get progressively closer to your goals. I have a 15+ year professional performance career as a singer in Musical Theater, Rock/Pop and Jazz and received my degree in Vocal Performance from NYU. Teaching informs my performing and performing informs my teaching. I am a voice nerd and love to continually educate myself on latest vocal research and methodologies. I believe in a hybrid approach of technical and scientific with freeing yourself up to your own self expression and your unique artistry. Since I started working with students of all ages (seriously my youngest student is 2 and my oldest is currently 66) I can not imagine ever stopping. Working with students of all levels and ages is always unique, and fun. I can't wait to get started with you!

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!

I like to teach each lesson, for both voice and piano, by spending equal time on ear-training/sight-reading (sight-singing), technique, and repertoire.

For singers used to singing along with their favorite recordings, matching sounds coming from the piano can be quite a challenge. Luckily, we live in an age of smartphones and tablets. I say this because if you go to iTunes or the Google Play store and search “intonation,” there are many apps that will help you learn to sing in tune (on the correct pitch). I’m new to using these apps, but I plan to use these in lessons regularly. Aside from counting steady rhythms, the ability to sing in tune is one of the most important skills for any aspiring singer. And while I’m thinking about it, download a metronome too. (I’ll explain how to use this after you book a lesson..he he :)

Also, training singers can be difficult because they can't see their instrument, and often singers don’t practice because they can’t see their ...
