I would like nothing better than to help you discover and develop your voice's greatest potential. Singing embodies many elements including proper tone production, rhythmic accuracy, proper diction and connecting to and sharing the emotional content of a song. It is a personal journey for singers to learn how to integrate all those elements into their own instruments and I will act as your trusted and supportive guide throughout the process. I have a master's degree in classical vocal performance from the renowned Manhattan School of Music and performed with opera companies in New York City. Currently, in New Orleans, I sing with the joyous Shades of Praise interracial gospel choir. I have had the privilege of studying with some of the finest voice teachers, conductors and coaches that America has to offer and I would love to share that combined knowledge with others. I have also had the agonizing and humbling experience of losing and rebuilding my voice after medical difficulties, ...

I have been involved in vocal music including Classical / Opera / Broadway and Jazz for over 50 years. This includes training vocalist for over 45 years as a choir director (children to adults).

Hi! I’m currently a senior voice performance at Oklahoma City University. I’ve been taking voice lessons since I was 10 years old and am so passionate about singing and teaching. I have taken vocal pedagogy classes, and after graduation I plan to pursue a masters and doctorate degree so I can someday reach at the university level. This summer I was accepted into a program in Italy where I sang classical and opera music and got to work with world renowned faculty. I’ve additionally been cast as leads in both musicals and operas at my university.

I train vocalists to learn to sing using their voice, not a copy of mine or someone they heard on the radio.
I make sure we use proper techniques so each voice remains healthy and viable for as long as he or she wants to sing.

Vocal lessons in one's own home makes for a safe environment, where you don't feel like you're on display in a store or studio.

I teach every thing from opera to country, including pop, theater, gospel, contemporary Christian, jazz standards, and r & b.
