Learn how the pros do it!

If you want to learn pop, I'll teach you the same techniques used by Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, Bon Jovi, Mick Jagger, and more... because I study with their teacher!

If you want to learn Opera, learn to tackle any audition, gig, or recording session just like Marilyn Horne did. I've got exercises from teachers at the Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera, and from Marilyn Horne herself to get you right on top of your game!

I've been singing professionally for 16 years. I've sung my own show at Carnegie Hall. I was Gaston in the national tour of Beauty and the Beast and I never missed one of our 326 shows. I can get you on the Gaston regimen in as little as one lesson.

If you are looking for voice lessons for yourself, your child, or a friend, my lessons are engaging, student-centered, and never intimidating. No longer study with a teacher that is "set in their ways" - I have a plethora of teaching strategies that are current, and vibrant, geared toward the needs of the individual.

My extensive performing skills in addition to my vocal pedagogy training make my lessons well-rounded and highly effective.

I have been a professional pop singer/recording artist for the past 5-6 years. Having been classically trained, I am a huge proponent of teaching my students classical technique to strengthen their contemporary skills. If you've ever felt like you've struggled to find your "voice", or feel that a few technical issues are preventing you from reaching your full vocal potential, I can help you with that! Also, I specialize in teaching singers vocal technique for a recording studio environment. Learn how to track and edit vocals to create your own demos. This can be helpful whether you want to be able to have great recordings of your singing or if you're looking to develop your own portfolio for your career.

I have been a Broadway and off-Broadway performer for the last decade and love to share what I have learned along the way. My approach is empathic and holistic. In warm, supportive environment, we will release physical and emotional tensions, unleashing the natural beauty of your unique voice. We will also tap into your authenticity as a actor and song interpreter so that you can enter any audition with confidence. In addition to 2 decades of study with various top singing teachers in NYC, I am certified in the Vocal Yoga Method.
