Classical Voice Lessons in Brinklow. Amazing Teachers.

As every student is unique my teaching style really depends on the student! Some want to learn for fun, others are studying for exams or college. As a result its really important for me to tailor my lessons towards each student and what they would like to work on. For some that could mean working on vocal technique, others working on music and repertoire. I’m adept at adapting to each student’s individual talents and vocal needs and therefore its important that for that each student progresses at a pace that they are comfortable with.

Fun and expert guidance on fundamentals and foundations of classical voice. I have been a vocal coach for over 25 years and have helped many students reach their true potential. From proper breathing technique to learning Arias, I can help you grow as singer.

I focus lessons highlighting any genre around technique. Cultivating one's technique establishes good habits regarding things like breath, and posture, which will help maintain a singers overall vocal health. In addition to classical repertoire I have experience working with musical theater, pop, jazz, soul, and country.

I teach both classical and commercial voice techniques, so no matter if you would rather perform a Mozart piece or a Selena Gomez song I can help you out. I have also been doing musical theater for years and auditioned professionally in New York City, so I can assist with audition prep for both regular auditions and college. I believe students should enjoy singing while also knowing the proper techniques as to not hurt their voice, so if you are interested please feel free to shoot me a message!

I believe I must know something!

I am studying to become a professional classical singer. Through my own training, I have discovered that having an amazing teacher – one who is supportive, caring, and hard working, and who will push you and work with you to be better – is the most important tool an aspiring musician can have. I believe that every student is different, as no person's body is the same, and no vocal instrument is the same. Based on my performance in the Teaching of Singing course at Oberlin Conservatory of Music, I was selected to be a voice teacher to non-Conservatory students at Oberlin College. I have now had several students, two of whom, with my assistance, have just been accepted to prestigious summer programs in classical voice. Though I have only been teaching voice to others for a year now, I have been teaching myself alongside my own teachers through practice and independent work for the past nine years, and I have discovered countless techniques and tricks to help every aspect of singing.
