I began my training as a classical singer in high school, and I have spent the past decade training to be the best musician and classical musician as I possibly can be. I am a firm believer that a classical technique should be the basis of any kind of vocal training, whether or not a student's goals include singing classical music, because it is the healthiest, safest and most affective way of singing. With my experience as a singer and a vocal student and my knowledge of opera and art song, I absolutely love teaching classical voice!

Get a strong technical foundation. Build your repertoire. Prepare for auditions.

I am a classically trained singer, and I prioritize health above all else when teaching voice. As a soloist, I work with students to improve their abilities to sing confidently and technically efficient by themselves. I teach everything from standard operatic repertoire, musical theater (helping them get roles like Cinderella from "Into the Woods" and Gabriella from "High School Musical"), popular music, and much more. I love learning from my students and their interests.

I'm very patient. I've worked with students as young as 5 years of age to as old as 75 years old. I focus on circulatory breathing, which promotes deeper, more relaxed breathing. My goals are to teach good breath support, a broad vocal range. and encourage a study and understanding oh music genres. I have coached students for roles in musicals, pageant competitions, music scholarships, and entrance into college music programs. I have worked with students who have suffered from vocal chord paralysis, severe acid reflux damage to the voice, and lds children.

I come to teaching with a variety of experiences: my own private studies, multiple years teaching privately, and four years working in a public school music classroom. Through all my different outlets, I have found the most success bridging what my students enjoy with a healthy singing technique that will allow them to perform whatever they want for the rest of their lives.

Singing is a joyous activity, so I always aim to have fun with my students as we learn! The ultimate goal is for you to discover what you love and to grow in potential and confidence.

Music is Fun ! Music should make you feel good ! I like to help people learn what it means to feel music and progressively express what the music makes them feel in their own ways. Sometimes you have to dance to feel music and sometimes you have to sit still with your eyes closed . All ways of expression are accurate ways of expression .
