    Vocal training from an experienced musician and teacher of 30+ years

    So, you want to sing but need a voice teacher. How about a teacher who will train you not only to sing, but also to take care of your voice. Grow in your potential as a singer, but treasure your gift to ensure that you do not damage your voice. I have years of experience studying voice, and teaching vocal musicians in the field. I also have first hand experience as a performer who needed to take care of my voice to continue my craft. Let's get started!

    Kathy instilled such confidence in not only myself but the entire class for musical performances. She is patient and always willing to help. She always made sure to break things down into smaller sections so everyone could grasp it before moving on. Nobody was left behind. Kathy was also my teacher for a music appreciation course in high school which was a very eye opening experience. The thought behind the music had never been something I really thought about. She is very knowledgeable and taught us so many interesting things. I still remember taking a music theory class in college and realizing that I had learned (and retained) so much from Kathy already that made the class a breeze. Her passion for helping others is vibrant, her knowledge is outstanding, and I would highly recommend!
