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.

I have enjoyed a successful career as a singer ( primarily opera ) and am now devoting more time to teaching aspiring singers. I have a deep knowledge of proper vocal technique , which when acquired allows the student to sing any type of music they are interested in. I am comfortable with many genres : classical , sacred , musical theatre, jazz and pop I speak and sing in English, French Italian and German i also teach piano for beginners up to a five year level . I have a Bachelor of Music degree in voice from the University of New Hampshire and a Masters in Voice and Opera from Memphis State University. I love helping a student develop...

I have 25+ years experience as a musician & singer. I have several awards & a few gold & platinum projects. I work for non profits teaching kids in different areas of media. They love it & so do I.

I combine American/European method books to customize lessons based on student goals. Not every student wants to be a virtuoso and once we explore each student's personal goals for studying piano or voice, I customize a lesson plan to achieve those goals with visible results. Meeting people from all walks of life with a shared passion for Music!
