Come sing by the sea in beautiful Beverly! Penny’s sound background in classical study coupled with a lifelong love of musical theatre has helped to mold her into the passionate, dedicated, and energetic educator and performer that she is today. Her instruction focuses not just on the student’s voice, but developing the student as a whole - working with breath, posture, confidence, characterization and artistry. She also incorporates the use of yoga and movement as tools to free the singer in mind and body. Concentrating mainly on the genres of Broadway, Classical, and Jazz, she also teaches beginning piano students, voice/piano combo lessons and coaches acting students as well. Penny has been a private instructor for over 18 years and works with students of all ages and experience levels. A native of the Chicagoland area, Penny is a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University (BM, Vocal Performance) and the Boston Conservatory (MM Opera Performance).

I want to teach you how to shine! With over 10 experience in teaching, my goal is to make you as comfortable as possible with your instrument. Singing is about finding YOUR voice. It's there. We all have one. Let me help you take control of your voice so that you can share it with others confidently.
I studied voice under Florence Birdwell at Oklahoma City University. I spent five years on the road touring with Broadway shows. As a singer/songwriter, I've opened for Jewel, The Steve Miller Band, and many others.
Let's work together to expand your repertoire and get you comfortable with multiple genres and singing styles.

Our voice is the most personal expression we can share. I feel very passionate about helping others create a personalized 'toolkit' of exercises designed to promote proper posture, ease of breath support and help guide the vocal explorer in developing their most perfect resonance and pitch control. The end result is the ability to sing, speak, stand and move with relaxed authenticity by encouraging a calmly energized physical demeanor which increases confidence.

My foundation is bel canto technique; to expand range, create full tone, sing with ease & power, build breath support & learn to maintain vocal health.

I've taught voice for over 18 years, backed by a lifetime of performing & 12 years of private vocal studies. I also lived and worked in Los Angeles for 12 years.

I am committed to helping singers develop their authentic, unique voice.

I started my singing career at the prestigious Hanns Eissler University in Berlin, Germany where I studied jazz and classical style along with direct training from David Lee Brewer (Beyonce's vocal coach). I also studied advance vocal techniques while working with Daryl Simmons (Babyface's "Silent Partner") on various records and studio projects. I received a "Gold Record" for Pop Music in Europe. I also taught vocals at “JPat Records” (Usher’s mom’s label in Atlanta) under Michi Robinson’s Artist Development Program. My voice clients include beginners, intermediate and notable recording artists. I'm very patient and thorough with my students and try to make the sessions lively but focused as well.
