I have been teaching for 42 years, in my home studio, at Central Connecticut State University for 20 years, and at Westminster School in Simsbury, CT for 40 years . I was also the Artistic Director for the Ensign-Darling Vocal Fellowship at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts in Hartford until COVID struck. I studied for 8 years with Phyllis Bryn-Julson and sang Beethoven's Missa solemnis with Robert Shaw in France. It is my goal to free up the natural voice and protect the larynx from misuse.
