Top Singing & Voice Lessons in West McLean, VA

I've been teaching chorus and doing private voice lessons for almost 10 years. For the past years, my students in private singing lessons have gained a basic understanding of vocal anatomy and become more skilled in correct breathing technique, moving between vocal registers and producing balanced tone. I usually select an age appropriate song for my students to learn for each session, and each skill the students learned during the lessons will be applied to the singing of that song.

I have been a vocal coach for many years and am passionate about helping my students reach new levels in clarity, range, stage presence and any other vocal strength they wish to acquire!

I'm an actively performing opera singer who graduated with a Masters in Vocal Performance from The Juilliard School and received his Bachelors in Voice from The University of Kentucky. Currently I am a Young Artist with the Washington National Opera Company at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. performing roles and concerts in their season!

I have a master's degree in classical vocal performance from the renowned Manhattan School of Music and performed with opera companies in New York City. Currently, in New Orleans, I sing with the joyous Shades of Praise interracial gospel choir. I have had the privilege of studying with some of the finest voice teachers, conductors and coaches that America has to offer and I would love to share that combined knowledge with others. I have also had the agonizing and humbling experience of losing and rebuilding my voice after medical difficulties, ...

I've taught students who have never taken a voice lesson before and those who have been singing and studying for 10+ years.

I especially love teaching those who are new to singing because there are issues in confidence and finding the unique qualities for their voice while still building healthy vocal technique. If this is an issue for an advanced singer, I'd love to help out.
