Classical Voice Lessons in Annapolis Junction. Amazing Teachers.

I'm an actively performing opera singer who graduated with a Masters in Vocal Performance from The Juilliard School and received his Bachelors in Voice from The University of Kentucky. Currently I am a Young Artist with the Washington National Opera Company at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. performing roles and concerts in their season!

I have been surrounded by incredible teachers who instilled a passion for teaching in me and I am so eager to share all I have learned, and am still learning, with you!

I focus on the basics of healthy singing and strive to maximize the beauty, control and longevity of the voice no matter what the style. And as an active performer I have a lot to offer along the lines of expression, style and even language.

I can't wait to meet you, learn your goals and watch your progress as we explore what the wonderful world of singing has in store for you!

I am a school music teacher since 2003, a classical singer, a soprano, and a voice teacher as well. I have a keen interest in every aspect of the human voice, singing, vocal technique, vocal pedagogy and performance. My goal is to help my students to learn about different structures that affect their voice and help them to combine these structures in several ways. My students in this course get different sound qualities that they can use in their favorite repertoire. We learn new ideas, hints, performance issues and we do a lot of vocal exercises, and ear training.

Let´s sing Art Song, Lied, French Chanson, and all the beautiful music from all the different countries of the world.
Sing with great technique
Learn how to build a concert repertoire

I like to work one-on-one with my students creating a team and program that will lead each one of them to achieve their goals.

Sometimes I suggest some books but I try to keep my students from spending too much money.
Let's have fun.
