Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, I'd like to see what your goal is, how fast you want to get there and where you are at the moment.
Then, we'll elaborate a plan how to get there and will start working on it - yes, it's that simple!
You will be able to hear the difference - I have my recording studio at home so if you're coming to my place, we'll be recording, regularly.
If you are looking to perform and improve your level of performance - then we will be working on that as well, first on technique, then add stage presence and control.

How did you get started teaching?
I had people lining up and begging me for a class. I couldn't resist and decided to help!
What types of students have you worked with?
All types. From other singers in bands and celebrities to people who were not even sure if they could sing in tune. They could after 2 classes - we just needed to train their ears a bit. There's no people who can't sing unless you were born mute.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a person who inspires you and who does not let you feel bored - we're not in school anymore and you should be always wanting to get better! This is why you are paying for it!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What is your goal? Why do you need it?
If you don't know then who knows?
