Our ultimate goal as a singer is communication, and developing a healthy technique enables us to express freely! Whether you're singing on the stage professionally, or in front of friends and family, the goal is still the same- to sing your very best- and the tools we will build together will last a lifetime! Healthy Belt and Legit Singing will be addressed as well as many styles which are present in Musicals past and present.

I have extensive training in musical theatre and have been in several productions. I have a M.M. in vocal performance from the Chicago College of Performing Arts and have extensive vocal training. I teach an open throat technique (appoggio) that allows the singer to sing with freedom, and access their entire range evenly. I also work with students to develop style, interpretation, languages, and acting ability.

I can help you develop your confidence in 'putting a song across' to an audience (even if it's just an audience of 1!) by getting into the MEANING of the song, its place in the narrative of the show, play or Musical, and how to convey that meaning through a variety of techniques and types of musical inflection. I also help you find your pitch and your own unique voice.

My students get so much more than JUST Voice lessons. They will have a full resource from a professional still working in the entertainment field. I share everything I have learned and am still learning with my students. Besides learning an incredible vocal technique that will help avoid vocal blow out, I teach emotional connection to your songs, on stage performance, mic technique, studio performance and work with song selection. I share my whole self with every student whether they are a beginner or a pro.

And then we grow your own voice from there.
