I hold a master's in classical voice performance from New Jersey City University as well as a graduate diploma in music composition from the Longy School of Music. I received my undergraduate education from New York University and am currently obtaining a master's in composing at Tufts University. My music lessons are informed from the perspective of being both a performing and compositional artist. I strive to foster a complete musical education for my students, and that includes a focus on vocal technique, music theory, pitch recognition, artistry, and somatic alignment. In addition to my extensive musical training, I am also a certified yoga teacher and reiki worker, and I incorporate mind/body modalities into my teaching of the singing and musical arts. Singing is an embodied art form, as the singer's instrument is literally within her or his body, and as such, I work with students to understand how anatomy and mind/body awareness informs vocal technique.

I want to help you find your voice and express yourself -- to SHINE and have a lot of fun in the process! I'd like to pass along some of my expertise and knowledge to you. I've been a performing vocalist all my life, with formal training beginning in high school, continuing into college and into my career as a professional musician. I have "stage" experience (choral, broadway musicals, opera) AND experience in the "band" arena, performing vocals and/or bass guitar and guitar for rock, pop, R&B and jazz gigs.

Hello everyone,

I hope you are very well and keeping healthy during this difficult time.

My Philosophy: To find students passionate to learn the "Bel Canto Opera Technique". Everyone is welcome, all types of voices! My focus is to find the right balance in your voice, through vocal exercise, range, intonation, breathing, appropriate repertoire and of course learning the style of each aria or role. Another goal is to maintain a healthy voice. This may seem easy, however these days we see short careers that don't last long. This is because many singers start singing heavy repertoire before their voices are ready. One must learn to make correct, pure sounds when beginning training. Some young singers try to fabricate a heavy sound to sound more mature. When not ready for the bigger roles, one can destroy the fragile vocal chords of the voice and destroy hopes of a long career in opera.

This and much more you will discover through these lessons.

Hope to see you soon and Happy High ...
