Communicating ideas and emotions through music is my passion. In our lessons we will work together to develop a strong healthy voice that you can then use in whatever style you choose. A great performance is about more than just a pretty voice, and we will explore ways for you to express yourself fully, in your own individual way., and to free you to find the joy of making music.

I love the challenge of tailoring lessons to each individual student. I never get tired of watching students get better, whether it's finding new freedom in their voice, expanding their range, or connecting more deeply to a song. It's a joyous thing.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
To some extent it depends on the students age. For adults and teens I typically begin by asking questions to determine the students goals, as well as their past experience. Once I've established what they want to get out of our lessons, I usually begin with some vocal exercises, to help me assess their status and to begin to develop or refine their voice. Finally I look for music that they will enjoy working on, that will enhance their work in the areas I want to focus on. With younger children I do the same, but place more emphasis on the fun parts of singing. Exercises are tailored to younger voices and minds. I try to have fun with all ages.
