As a graduate student of General Music Education, I have access to a number of performing opportunities including opera, recital, vocal solo class, master classes, and studio classes. The voice and opera program at my private music studio offer students a variety of course offerings that promote a strong technical and pedagogical foundation. Students receive weekly vocal instruction and, in addition, a weekly musical preparation sessions with the vocal coach.

My specialty is in classical voice technique, whether that be for opera or art song. My formal training encompasses over 13 years.

I have taught voice lessons, all levels and styles, for over 25 years.

I began my training as a classical singer in high school, and I have spent the past decade training to be the best musician and classical musician as I possibly can be. I am a firm believer that a classical technique should be the basis of any kind of vocal training, whether or not a student's goals include singing classical music, because it is the healthiest, safest and most affective way of singing. With my experience as a singer and a vocal student and my knowledge of opera and art song, I absolutely love teaching classical voice!

Get a strong technical foundation. Build your repertoire. Prepare for auditions.

I am a classically trained singer, and I prioritize health above all else when teaching voice. As a soloist, I work with students to improve their abilities to sing confidently and technically efficient by themselves. I teach everything from standard operatic repertoire, musical theater (helping them get roles like Cinderella from "Into the Woods" and Gabriella from "High School Musical"), popular music, and much more. I love learning from my students and their interests.

The first time that we meet, I like to sit down with new students and ask them about their singing experience and goals so that we can tailor the lessons to their individual needs and so that I can adjust my expectations accordingly. I am very flexible with my approach! During subsequent lessons, I will introduce the student to some basic concepts in vocal anatomy. Knowledge of voice production allows one to be intentional in his or her practicing and achieve the desired results!

I have been singing classical music since I was 11 years old. My major was a bachelors in music from Saint Mary's College with a focus in voice. I have student taught all ages from 7 up to 16 for a year in a half in a classroom setting. This will be my first year teaching private lessons. I specialize in beginner voice.

I will also be able to teach beginning theory and singing techniques.
