Kirtland AFB, NM Singing Lessons

pop rock jazz musical (any age/level)
For over 15 years I've been providing vocal coaching and singing lessons to students age 5 and above, while being a live stage performer myself. Nothing beats the real-life experience!

I have been working as a professional musician since 1987. In that time, I've played many roles alongside a wide range of established and emerging talent, from around the world, including band leader, accompanist, music producer, composer, arranger, co-writer, teacher, coach and mentor. Along the way, I have continued to pursue my passion for education, teaching private music lessons to amateurs, professionals and hobbyists from all walks of life.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Theory & Composition, as well as one year of graduate studies towards my Masters in Education with an emphasis on Vocal Music.

I have a lot of knowledge and experience in understanding the art of singing. I've studied with some of the best voice teachers out there and have many exercises and even will help you to glean some insight on some of the physiological components of singing- breathing, chest voice, head voice, mix voice, and falsetto that will in turn expand your range and enhance your overall tone.

Experienced, thorough and FUN singing teacher for over 7 years available for PASSIONATE students WITH TALENT in need of skill training and honing their craft! I specialize in ear training, control, dynamics and connecting emotionally with performance. I generally use Berklee College of Music books and provide students with "homework" resources to help expand their knowledge base and develop their gift. With enough time, and if you will put in the work, you will reach your singing goals by the end of lessons.

Expect to have fun, to not feel judged and be ready to grow!!!

For many years I sang in my school Chamber Choir and took voice lessons. The choir performed regularly in pubic and in statewide competitions. I also have years of experience teaching the basics of singing in a low pressure way.
Topics we learn about include breathing and breath control, pitch and intervals, keys and scales and singing harmony. I can accompany a student while they sing, and hopefully teach them the basics of accompanying themselves.

Tell me what you are looking to achieve from your singing.

I've been coaching Voice (Seth Riggs Method) for 10+ years and my students have gone on to attain major record label contracts. Within the first few lessons, you'll enhance range, breath support, control, pitch, and agility, and as time goes on you'll uncover the strong, healthy voice you were born with, connected from bottom to top! Lessons are recorded, making practice 100% effective. I love working with clients of all ages, styles, and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I will begin by talking with you about your goals. We will work through exercises to build the voice to its highest potential and work on pieces that help you meet your goals. I believe that everyone has a unique and beautiful sound just waiting to come out!

I have years of experience as a recording artist and session singer in San Francisco and Los Angeles. I teach beginner, intermediate and advanced students, ages 12 and up. I combine my studio and stage experience with my years of vocal training study. I am positive, encouraging and all about singing and performing what you love. 🎶✨
