Classical Voice Lessons in Pittsburgh. Amazing Teachers.

I have been providing caring coaching since 2001 for more than 150 students across 6 local school districts in the South and West Hills of Pittsburgh, plus from Bishop Canevin, OLSH and CAPA. I offer personalized private instruction in voice and music theory for ages 12 to adult, beginners to advanced. (Younger students may be considered after consultation with parents.)

I have a broad background, stretching from musical theater to opera to
contemporary Christian worship. I studied opera in college with Claudia Pinza.
However, currently I mostly utilize my gifts in a church with a contemporary music style. I have coached many young people in their development as worship leaders as well as worship vocalists.

I believe that the fundamentals of good singing technique translate across all genres of singing. Therefore, I don't mandate that my students sing opera; however, we can certainly do that if a student is interested! I believe that my job is to help you fulfill your ...

Get a strong technical foundation. Build your repertoire. Prepare for auditions.

I am a professional singer, harpist, conductor, arranger, and producer. I have been studying music in a serious fashion since 2005 and I am committed to teaching the basics as well as letting the students' creative freedom reign.

I am a great communicator of what you need to start singing better immediately. Sensing what’s happening inside your Voice and body as you sing is an inmate specialty of mine. As I share that ability with you during our lessons, you will understand immediately how to correct any singing problems you may have. Your results, as others, will be instantaneous dramatic improvements for your singing voice.

The virtue of patience has been gifted to me and it’s easy for me to nurture your voice, no matter how young or old, to achieve fine vocal skills, great stage presence and a solid confidence to boost.

As long as you practice, you will see weekly improvements. With your consistency in attending your lessons, you will reach your singing goals like so many of my other students.

I look forward to working with you and seeing you (and others that hear you) be amazed at your singing progress!

I believe that singing is about so much. It is a way to express yourself, it is a way to gain confidence, and it is a wonderful discipline. I want to help you find YOUR voice. It would be so much fun to get to work with you on anything you might need: sightreading, Choral solos and music, your favorite pop of country song! Anything that interest you!

Every lesson is for YOU. The time we spend together is time for you to explore your voice, your goals, and desires within music. I specialize in beginner/intermediate singers looking to expand their voice, repertoire, and love of singing. No lesson will be the same, and every lesson will be a shared experience in which we learn how your voice works, and how it feels.

Lessons include, but are not limited too, repertoire exploration, music theory, range expansion, vocal pedagogy/vocal anatomy, performance preparation, character coaching .....and much more.
