I love to see people grow as performers and persons. There are few things as rewarding as seeing someone accomplish a goal. I saw one of my students go from shy to confident. She was struggling with her Polish accent. After some time working with me, her confidence soared and she started getting roles. Another one of my voice over students went from being local to national. One of my high school students went from barely being able to sing to having the lead in his high school musical! He is now growing as a musician and singer as he has begun taking music theory and piano lessons in addition to voice.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to see where the student is and if we are a good fit. First we talk via phone or google hangouts. For piano we do some scales, exercises, and do some sight reading and I have the student play something they already know. Then we begin exercises to strengthen the hands and/or voice, as well as figure out what music or text would be good to study..
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Private piano study, BA in music, post graduate studies in voice at Manhattan School of Music, private composition and theory classes.

How did you get started teaching?
I studied classical voice and began by teaching a few friends. Over time I started teaching professionally. I developed my teaching more from studying with opera teachers world over. I constantly read articles about vocal technique, anatomy, and am trying new things.
What types of students have you worked with?
Broadway singers, voiceover artists, and singers who want to go from amateur to professional. Serious amateurs and professionals are my specialty.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my students, in one year, went from barely being able to sing after his voice changed to having the lead in his high school musical.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure your teacher is a good personality match, has studied with good teachers and has technical knowledge of the voice, and is interested in your progress and helping you achieve your goals. Your singing should be relaxed and as easy as possible.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Does the teacher have technical knowledge of the voice? Do they vocalise you? Offer solutions to passages other than, "you are going flat here."? There should be different approaches to solving the flatness through vowel modification, body adjustments, looking at breathing, posture, etc.
