Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Portland, ME

Vocal technique and song preparation will be our focus. We'll also cover how to play the guitar while singing.

I am a strong believer that everyone should be able to learn and grow, regardless of ability or disability. I have extensive experience working with children and adults with learning disabilities, developmental or intellectual disabilities (including Autism), anxiety, trauma, and physical deformities. Whether you're a just a beginner or an advanced student needing guidance, let's explore music together! :)

This is a great lesson study for anyone who wants to sing(experienced or not).
Beginners would learn to approach their voices as instruments through breathing and use of their diaphragm. All classes would develop their ears through special exercises and harmony. More advanced singers the emphasis would be on stylings and nuances. I also try to develop them as an artist. All lessons are customized to the prospective students in addition to being a lot of fun. I've been teaching voice for about 15 years now.

I have been teaching and singing professionally for over 25 years. In the lesson, I always start with warm-up vocalizing. Then, we work on songs, depending on the student and type of voice and interest; and always including music theory, the foundation. Each student is unique; so I customize the lessons and repertoire to suit each student. Even if someone cannot match pitch, I have had great success. We work on improving tone and expanding range as well as song interpretation.

I will help you access a freely produced sound while teaching basic vocal techniques to help you communicate artistically. All styles of music welcomed.
