I've taught vocal training to children, teens, and adults in the US and abroad since 2006 and my students are working! My Masters degree training has afforded me the opportunity to be well versed in effective vocal techniques. My main goal is to help you to develop your own set of tools, and better understand your unique voice. Make sure to wear clothing you can move in during our sessions, and, most importantly, explore and just have fun!

I have my Bachelor's in Vocal Music Performance and I'm familiar with the current standards of classical, opera, and musical singing. I have been a part of opera and musical productions and many choirs. I will teach what you want to learn providing suggestions, individualized for you, along the way. Together we can improve your general skill and confidence as a singer. Things we will work on include breath control, vowel placement, diction, phrasing, and exploring your vocal capabilities. Things we can work on are theory, sight reading, song learning, performing, singing other languages, or certain genres or styles.

Grammy Award winning singer, stage performer, recording artist, actor and teacher. Classically trained, international opera singer, soprano. Highly knowledgable in vocal technique, breathing, and repertoire in classic literature as well as musical theatre, pop, standards, and jazz. Past students have performed world-wide, on Broadway, Opera and Symphonic stages, in concert with bands and numerous recording studios. ***I work with students to help them understand their instrument, build a healthy vocal technique that works within the style of singing they are interested in. Lessons consist of vocal exercises and work on repertoire/songs. I play piano and accompany my students either live or through an accompaniment track that I record. I accept students age 10 and above, at all levels of study. I am personable, fun, and patient, and want my students be the best singer they can be!***

I will meet you wherever you are, and together we will develop a personalized plan to meet your goals. Classical singing is often done in an overly clinical manner, punishing vocal idiosyncrasies and style, and robbing music of its joys. But as a person who had a horrible experience with classical training, I pride myself on being able to impart its better aspects without subjecting students to its more harmful, infamous aspects.

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.
