About
You want to sing or act! There is a passionate voice calling from deep within your heart trying to express itself.
Perhaps you have taken lessons in the past but you didn't get the results you wanted, or even worse found that singing or performing became much harder or confusing from a teachers "technique"!
Or you are new to singing and want to develop life long healthy singing habits and the confidence to share your passion and musical storytelling with the world. Or new to acting and dont even know where to begin.
I work one on one with every student, in an ego free and safe environment, to help them develop healthy vocal production/ a reliable "actor's tool belt", and a roadmap to achieve their unique artistic vision and career goals.
I deeply believe in, and advocate for, the intentional and intelligent artist, equipping all of my students with the confidence, tools, and training to make and trust their own artistic choices, both in shaping the music or script and in shaping their careers.
I offer both in home lessons or a studio location.

I love helping students reach and celebrate the "Ah-Ha!" moments in coachings and lessons. It is so exciting to see the development of an idea blossom into an new realization

How did you get started teaching?
What types of students have you worked with?
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I encourage all students to "shop around" find a teacher or a coach that you connect with and feel comfortable learning from. There are many teaching styles and "personalities" out there. When you trust and respect the teacher or coach you generally are able to develop faster as a student!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ask yourself:
What goals do I want to achieve?
What skills do I want to develop?
Then use your answers to create questions when meeting with a new teacher. Based on the teacher's answers you will quickly discover if the teacher can help you reach your goals and if you are on the same page as far artistic style, as well as the time frame of skill development.
(True skill development takes time and practice, preparation/ coaching for auditions and performances can be prepared within a time frame)
