am a classically-trained opera singer. I have a Bachelors and Masters in Vocal Performance and Vocal Pedagogy (teaching), and have sung professionally in the U.S. and Europe. I have sung Opera, Operetta, Musical Theater and Concerts, as well as choral and cantorial singing. I have been teaching voice since 1980, and have worked with all ages of singers, singing all kinds of music. Breathing is the most important element for every type of singing, to support the voice and produce the best sound. For each student, I strive to help them breathe better, so they can sing at their best and enjoy their singing more. I speak and read 5 languages, which helps me teach my students correct pronunciation of their song texts.

"My main goal for you is to help you strengthen and protect your voice while giving you the confidence to take your singing to the next level - and from there? - consistently progress. I will help you achieve control and artistry and give you the tools to reach your particular vocal goals.

Experienced teacher for 7 years, specializing in the beginner/ advanced vocal students! I work on breathing, vocal techniques, releasing tension and depending on what the student needs or wants, I can also teach music theory and sight singing. I make sure that the students sing in a way to keep the voice healthy. In addition what my availability shows, I can possibly accommodate you at other times. Feel free to contact me. “Music is all around us. We just have to learn to feel it inside ourselves.” SM

Singing is super fun but can also be discouraging when obstacles such as strain and vocal fatigue set in. My goals as a voice teacher are to boost the confidence of singers through developing reliable breathing technique, a connected support system and a clear, easy tone. I have been teaching voice for the past seven years, have a bachelors in voice, and am working towards a masters in voice from Florida State University where I teach undergraduate musical theater and classical students. Along with voice technique lessons, I frequently coach my students in singing German, Italian, and French as well as English.
