My Approach:
Every student is different. Some need to understand how the body works - how voice is physically produced.
Others are more kinesthetic and learn by feeling. My experiences as both a student and teacher of singing have exposed me to many different ways
of helping singers discover healthy and effective vocal technique.
I am an educator,
which enables me to address each student's unique learning needs
I am a vocologist, which enables me to address each student's unique physical needs
I am a performer, which enables me to instruct students in diction, stage presence and interpretation.
It is my goal to provide an encouraging and comfortable atmosphere for learning and confidence building. Singers are more confident when they
are not merely singers, but well-rounded, confident and knowledgable musicians with a clear appreciation for the gift their music is to themselves and those who hear it.
Singing is a lifelong activity, so I happily work with students of all ages and levels.
