My love of singing began in my freshman year of high school, when I joined the choir. It was a life-changing experience, and inspired me to make music my career. I immediately began taking private voice lessons, and became a voice teacher myself by 2005. While in college, I was presented with many opportunities to learn and grow, both as a musician and as a teacher. I sang in several different collegiate choirs, and was nominated to be in the all-collegiate choir in 2007. I also passed yearly auditions to sing in Voices Only, Lindenwood's most advanced vocal group. During my junior and senior years at Lindenwood, I worked as the assistant director of Voices Only. This was a wonderful opportunity, and I learned so much while leading warm-ups every day, running sectionals on a weekly basis, directing the group during rehearsals and even during performances when the director was away. I currently sing in the Saint Louis Harmony Chorus, one of the top 25 women's barbershop choruses in the

Students can expect to have a lot of fun exploring their voices, ranges, performance styles, and song education. Signing is one of the most basic forms of music and communication.

found throughout my 25+ years of teaching that learning to sing is much deeper than just singing. It is also learning confidence, how to become an artist how to develop and how to break through emotional blocks that we have all put on ourselves. It is a great way for children, teens, and adults to become stronger, happier, and more confident individuals not only in singing, but in their life. I have seen this confidence blossom over and over especially with my students.

I focus on correct breathing, ear training, and phrasing, but I form a whole musician. I'm a skilled accompanist as well, so you'll be able to hear the music complete in your lessons.

In one lesson I can make everything easier to sing while still maintaining power and expression using Speech Level Singing (Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, etc.) and IVA (Institute of Vocal Advancement) techniques.

I've been singing for 30 years but have studied this method for the past six years and the first lesson blew me away! I get a thrill out of doing the same thing for my students.
