Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Deale, 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.

Music is a beautiful language, and I love being able to help others discover that beauty and express themselves through it.

After studying vocal music in college, my goal is to help students tap into their own musical personality, combining proper musical technique with personal style and expression.

We will begin with assessing where you are in skill level and musical knowledge, and lesson plans will be based on what you hope to achieve. My students will learn basic terminology, musicality, and proper vocal technique, allowing them to access their full range of talent. My goal is for each student to come away from each lesson with new knowledge and skills, and for them to find enjoyment through learning. Music is fun and exciting! Let’s start singing!

My passion is singing and I have recently received my Master’s degree in classical vocal performance at the Mannes School of Music. My voice teachers have greatly impacted my life and my goal is to inspire my students in a similar way. I have acquired many different tools for teaching through my studies and teaching experience. Everyone has a unique voice and learning style and I tailor my teaching to each individual.

Students of all ages and levels are welcome. Styles that I teach include art song, opera, musical theater, and pop with a focus on building a solid and healthy vocal technique.

My experience in dance, Alexander Technique, and acting informs my teaching approach. I include body awareness, character interpretation, and making the music come alive as an integral part of the lessons. I love to teach and enjoy helping others discover their voices and achieve their personal singing goals. It would be a pleasure to help you discover your voice!

Every student is a unique person who deserves a lesson customized to their individual needs. Each of my students prospers in an atmosphere of patience and encouragement. While the lessons are fun and enjoyable, the serious student will be supported in the development of skills leading to a rewarding career. And the more casual students will grow in an appreciation of music that will always enrich their lives.

I begin each voice lesson with a warm-up to prepare the student for their session. Next, we do a series of exercises specially designed to help each individual develop their skill in a way that best fits them. We then work on a piece of their choice for the remainder of the lesson, perfecting their technique and helping them become performance ready. I teach with patience and fun because I feel that this is the key to achieving goals and inspiring a good habit of practice.

No matter where you are starting from, I will take you where you want to go with your voice.

I teach voice lessons to various ages, incorporating techniques from various genres of study. I was trained by the best commercial voice coaches at Belmont University and I am well-versed in several styles, from classical to country to pop music. Students are able to choose what style or styles they are interested in working on!

I sing professionally in Nashville, and my experience as a stage performer, session singer, and songwriter on music row has provided me with great insight on the demands of the industry. Students can expect to learn about the music industry, as well as a great amount of vocal technique, ear training, basic music theory, and stage performance skills in their lessons. Many of my students choose to incorporate songwriting or basic piano/guitar into their voice lessons, as well.

We also have a home recording studio, and many of my students choose to record their songs after working on their vocals!
