Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Dover, NH

You will find that my versatile background in voice can and will tend to your every need as a prospective vocalist. All voice types and genres are welcome!

I have been teaching private lessons now for over two years. I specialize in teaching children and teens and am a student favorite at Take Lessons with a collection of wonderful reviews from students and their parents. I am a very thorough and patient teacher. However, I expect a MINIMUM of three days a week of practice from all of my students at a length of time equal to lesson length. Without adequate practice, the student cannot flourish in fine-tuning their skills and could ultimately end up disappointed. This is completely avoidable with diligent practice.
For my younger students (ages 6-11) I utilize the Little Singers series of text written by Gregory Blankenbehler. For ages 12 and up, I utilize The Contemporary Singer: Elements of Vocal Technique written by Anne Peckham, one of my most influential Berklee professors. In addition to these texts I incorporate the use of the Vaccai: the Practical Method of Italian Singing as well as many various traditional, jazz, pop, and r&b ...

I have studied voice for over ten years, and have been teaching voice professionally since 2015, including two years of teaching experience at the university level. My students have ranged in age from graduate students, to high schoolers, and have been admitted to prestigious conservatories and ensembles. I am comfortable teaching all genres. My goal is to help you find your voice, and discover how to use it as well as you possibly can!

I am a creative and innovative instructor who loves helping each student find their voice and pursue their unique interests musically.  I completed my Masters in Music at Northwestern University in 2015, where I sought to create and present exciting multimedia recitals that combined classical music with other art forms. I believe one of the most important things we can do as musicians is connect music to our larger experiences, and, in my lessons, I help students form a strong technical and theoretical foundation as well as connect to the deeper meanings and connections of songs. For the past 3 years, I have taught voice and piano lessons with Flatts and Sharpe Music Company in Chicago and have extensive experience teaching online lessons.

I am passionate about cultivating the next generation of singers and musical theater artists. I have experience working with children as young as 6 to adults in their 70s who love to sing. My lessons are entirely based on my students needs and are adaptable. I've taught students preparing for college auditions at top musical theater programs as well as students who just want to have fun and perfect their singing. Most of my lessons start off with a warm up that helps hone vocal technique and skills to practice throughout the week and then move into singing material of the student's choice. I am a musical theater actor who was working at theater's all around NYC and the USA before the pandemic hit. I have always been passionate about working with my students and will make time for them even when I am on contract.

In my singing career, I have benefited tremendously from instruction by teachers who perform professionally. I want to help my students develop their vocal ability by meeting them where they are and applying the lessons I have learned from practical experience as well as from what I have been taught. My goal is to equip students with the skills so that they can develop a reliable technique that works under all situations.

In 2013, I began singing professionally in principal roles with major opera companies (with regular appearances at Dallas Opera) and as a soloist with orchestras across the United States. I was an Adler Fellow with San Francisco Opera from 2011-2012. I received my Artist Diploma in Opera Performance from the Academy of Vocal Arts, my M.M. in Voice Performance from Boston University and my B.M. in Voice Performance from Westminster Choir College.
