Music Lessons in Mountain Rest, SC. It's your time.

I hope to help students of all levels with technique, interpretation, and musicality. After a 30-year long career singing opera internationally, I hope to share my knowledge and experiences with students with a similar passion. I have worked with and learned from world-renowned musicians including Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, Richard Boning, Edita Gruberova, and many more.

Experienced teacher of 20 years, I teach beginning, intermediate and advance students of all ages. I use 15 solid, foundational techniques that boosts learning leading to your success. Let's get started today!

The viola has such a wonderful sound, and sings its own voice. Play orchestra music, in a trio or quartet, or just for your own pleasure. Melodies that were written for other instruments can sound really great on a viola. Bluegrass and Celtic music also is fun on a viola.

I will meet you wherever you are, and together we will develop a personalized plan to meet your goals. I will combine - all in an easy-to understand format - music theory, phonetic training, foreign language studies, classical training, voice theory, ear training, vocal training for multiple styles, vocal/auditory health, and music analysis to create the best plan to make you into the musician you want to be!

Singing is a very technical thing. The human voice is an instrument like any other that you can understand and use in a technical manner. But also your voice is a direct extension of your spirit, your identity, your history, and your passions that others can directly perceive! To truly live in your voice, to be proud of your voice, is to be proud of yourself, fundamentally. I will use my clinical knowledge and my personal knowledge as a singer to teach you to use your voice technically without robbing singing of its soul.

My main goal is to unlock your creativity! As an active musician, producer, and teacher I love to help others learn how to read, write, and play the music they love and envision. My teaching philosophy is that every aspect of music is connected and therefore to really get it, you have to learn it all! I take a wide ground up approach inching away at rhythm, melody, theory, technique, and feel altogether, advancing all musical skills equally over time. Can't wait to meet you!
