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 began singing when I was five years old in church. I continued singing exclusively inspirational music until I was a teenager. At that time, in addition to the second soprano part I sang in a five-part harmony
a Capella (without instrumental accompaniment) Gospel group, I also sang in a couple of bands (Rhythm and Blues, and Jazz). My undergraduate studies were completed at the American University, where I majored in Communications (B.A.), and minored in Music, voice being my instrument.

Singing is my specialty. As the vocalist for Sony Records band Atom Smash I toured for over 1000 shows and have found tricks to keep your voice up to par while singing aggressively. Most coaches focus on classical methods that would'nt stand up to the modern market of music. Using my methods and coaching your voice will be healthier, more stylized, and you will have the stamina to play 200 shows per year like I have. Im a passionate coach that takes my students under my wing.

Singing is the ultimate journey of authentic expression! It's not something you have or don't have- like anything there is just technique and practice. I teach using the principles of Bel Canto singing and Somatic Voicework, which just means that I have a classical foundation (that's what I study/do), but have a passion for all styles and can teach all styles! The voice is a holistic instrument, a combination of the body, heart, mind, and spirit of every person, and I always approach it with that in mind. My goal is to give everyone the tools to use their voice how they want to use it, and guide them to a healthy, efficient, optimal, authentic sound that is their true inner voice. Headed into my Masters degree in Classical Vocal performance, I love teaching all levels and backgrounds!
