Students will learn classical vocal technique, with repertoire focused on arias from operas and oratorios. Students will also learn basic sight reading and musicianship skills. I teach a holistic approach to music, which means my students will learn the entire system of their instrument through vocal exercises, ear training, diction, song, and performance techniques. Each student is unique, and I adapt my curriculum to meet their needs and achieve their goals. As an active performer, I encourage and facilitate students performing outside of private lessons. This includes studio recitals and the opportunity to compete in NATS competitions for all students who fulfill the requirements.
