Grand Prairie, TX Opera Voice Lessons

I have a degree in music from Abilene Christian University, and have been taking voice lessons since 2005. I have been teaching voice lessons for 2 years, and already I have seen many eager singers come through my door. My students have gone on to audition for and sing in school musicals, bands, and even karaoke in a restaurant! Many of my students take lessons solely to have fun and improve their voices, or even just their breathing. Within the first few lessons (if you're practicing between lessons, of course!), you will start to notice an improvement in your breathing and as time goes on, you will reap the benefits in your singing! I teach any style of singing, especially opera and musical theater.

I have the following tools available for your lessons: recording equipment, practice logs, keyboard, and more.

I can work with students of all experience levels!

I am passionate about bringing out the artist and music lover in all of my students. I am vocal coach, but also an active performer and recording artist in the rock/pop/R&B/metal genres. I tackle the styles or genres that the student is interested in while implementing healthy vocal hygiene and practice rituals. I have and utilize extensive knowledge of music theory in order to teach students how to understand and perform harmony and melodic improvisation. I work to make my students gain a refined and powerful, yet unique voice. My studio comes with connections to professional audio engineers and videographers for when a student may want any recordings or media done. I also assist with songwriting for students interested. I want to bring out the best in you as both a person and a musician!

Opera is not just about the voice, it's about performing as well. I train students in English, German, French, and Italian. Students also get vocal performance training.

I am a highly trained singer with over 30 years performance experience and over 20 years teaching experience. I have taught private lessons, volunteer choirs, professional choirs, and elementary, junior high, and high school choirs.
I was an all-state choir member multiple times and have coached many students to success in all-region and all-state choir auditions.
I have worked with students from beginners to professionals. I have developed many effective techniques for improving basics of breath support and mastering vocal placement.
I believe that singing brings joy to every soul and, just like riding a bike, everyone can do it. You may skin your knee a few times but by getting back up and getting on the bike you will master the art of singing faster than you ever believed possible.
