SoCal Singer Studio

For new students, I establish a calm, safe atmosphere for learning and teamwork. The first lesson is an assessment of the student's breathing and voice, and then we make plans to acheive the student's goals. As a certified MDH Breathing Coordination Practitioner, I incorporate a uniqe breathing method into vocal lessons. I have a massage table at my studio, and part of each lesson is spent prepping the body for singing. This is not a requirement; however, it is highly beneficial. Dressed in comfortable clothing, we would release tension throughout the body as it relates to the breathing mechanism, and ultimately recoordinate the ribs/diaphragm to move optimally, giving the student more freedom, power, and efficiency in their vocal production. After the body is prepped, we move on to vocal exercises/warmups, applying the work we did on breathing. Lastly, we work on whatever songs the student is working on. I can help with audition prep, vocal and breathing technique, performance, etc, and I offer three recitals per year.

As a trained singer and performer, I started teaching when someone asked me to teach them voice lessons. I discovered a passion for teaching and the rest is history!

Ages 5 to 95, beginners to professionals.

I recently held a showcase for my students to perform solos for their friends & families. I usually hold showcases 2-3 times/year at Center Stage Theater in Fontana. It's a great way to show off what you've learned and a great experience for growth!

The voice can be a delicate instrument and it needs proper care to develop it in a healthy way. My best advice would be to please choose your teacher wisely. Do not go for the cheapest or most conveniently located teacher... Do some research to find out which teacher will give you a solid foundation of vocal technique so your instrument will last a lifetime.
