I am a professionally licensed music teacher and performing is one of my absolute favorite things to do! I have a lot of performing experience, especially in voice, whether solo or in a musical group. Just a few of these include a world premiere in Carnegie Hall, a concert series with the Illinois Symphony Orchestra, a chamber performance at an international university-level symposium, and several operatic roles at my university. I can help with any aspect of performance!

Are you a musician or singer? Would you like to discover the secrets of performance: confidence, charisma, and showmanship? Or, do you have a piece that you would like to sharpen for an upcoming performance? I hold a B.M. from Berklee College of Music and I have over thirty-three years' experience as both a performer and instructor. Furthermore, I've written extensively on the subject of performance with several books, CD courses, and articles in publication.

As a professional musician who has performed regularly for over 20 years, I often coach others. I act as an audience of one, watching and listening attentively. Then I give honest feedback that I think will help each artist improve their overall presentation. We discuss mental preparation, musical preparation, stage presence, points of stage and concert etiquette, and ways in which the performance can be improved. We run through everything as many times as desired or until we have a product that is mutually satisfying.

I have six years of experience as a solo and band performer, living and touring in Argentina as well as working and performing in the United States. I help musicians and singers work with their instruments, specifically doing both at the same time (piano and voice or guitar and voice) so that they can perform with ease, comfort, and confidence. Whether it is for original music, covers and working as a musician, or simply feeling more comfortable playing and singing, I am happy to work with you as a performer.

Grow your passion for music and your voice! Learn healthy vocal technic to have a bigger more impressive sound, as well as grow your knowledge of how the voice works. Students will have a deeper understanding of their voice and how to best use their instrument in a variety of styles.
