Music Performance Lessons in Bel Alton. Amazing Teachers.

I have listed my specialties below, but really whatever type of vocal performance that you're interested in, no matter the genre I try to give you a solid foundation to do whatever you'd like to do. And to have fun while doing it hopefully.

I believe everyone has the ability to sing … some better than others, of course, -- but regardless, I believe every voice can make a beautiful sound. I believe learning to sing requires team work: with the proper instruction and learning tools from me, the instructor, and with the dedication (practice, practice, practice) from you, the student, a well-rounded singer can emerge.

I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that!
