As a sensitive person who has been through it myself, I'm very passionate about helping singers reconnect with music in a way that serves them by providing a holistic teaching method. I start with a foundation of empathy and trust, getting to know my students as individuals, and then work with the voice using ...

After 20+ years as a professional performer and teaching artist, it continues to be a joy to share a passion for singing with students! Our lessons together provide a safe environment for children and adults to explore a love of music while learning skills that translate to many different styles. We will emphasize combining solid technique with fun and self-expression. I specialize in Broadway and jazz, and also enjoy collaborating with singers on pop and other styles as well. Looking forward to making music together!
