Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Gaithersburg, MD

I studied instrumental music in throughout college and then I decided to join the choir. I was able to make it into the top auditioned vocal ensemble, which has helped me with my career as a middle school choir teacher! All ages are welcome, though I specialize with beginning musicians. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. Not only will you be performing music in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of note reading, music theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, and more. Let's get started!

I didn't identify as a singer until college, which was where I discovered opera. Classical singing so beautifully exemplifies the versatility of the human voice; I fell in love and joined a choir. Through my experiences, I learned anyone can sing and that training your ear and voice can be accessible to all with a baseline knowledge of music theory. I strive to give my students freedom to sing what they love, help them explore their abilities, and make them better musicians.

I have extensive singing and teaching experience, in genres including classical, musical theatre, and pop. I believe that excellent technique is the basis for singing in any genre, and apply that to my teaching. I teach singers how to sing healthfully with their own unique voice, in any genre.

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.
