Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Chesapeake Beach, MD

I've been teaching chorus and doing private voice lessons for almost 10 years. For the past years, my students in private singing lessons have gained a basic understanding of vocal anatomy and become more skilled in correct breathing technique, moving between vocal registers and producing balanced tone. I usually select an age appropriate song for my students to learn for each session, and each skill the students learned during the lessons will be applied to the singing of that song.

Allow me to help you get the voice of your dreams! You know, the one you have always known that you have deep down inside. It is my firm belief that everyone has a beautiful and unique voice to share with the world and most people have to work hard for it. That is where I come in! Hard work will turn into a fun and an adventurous experience of growth and excitement, I guarantee!

You will learn the basics in order to develop a correct vocal technique and the best repertoire which you feel more comfortable singing and where your voice will shine. I teach different styles and I guarantee you will see results from the first lesson. I have more than 15 years teaching and I will teach you with patience and care.

I teach a "kinesthetic" approach to singing, which I learned studying with Cristi Catt in Boston. Kinesthetic exercises help you open up your voice and use intuitive, familiar body movements to shape your sound, build power, expand your range, and find ease in singing almost any style of music. Beyond vocal technique, we incorporate ear training, theory, and improvising to help you get comfortable with your voice and understand the songs you love in new ways that help you sing them beautifully and remember them forever.

Everyone has a unique and wonderful voice- my job is to help you discover and develop yours.
