About
Patient, student-centered instruction to develop every singer's voice. 30 years experience teaching musical theater, classical and other styles with students of all ages. M.M. Vocal Pedagogy from Catholic University of America. Music director for many shows. Can prepare students for competitions, auditions and on-going vocal development
I love to help students access their breath system to make the kind of tone that's right for the style of music they like to perform. Then, to help them discover ways to give that tone the emotional and spiritual fullness to tell the story, is what makes teaching a joy.
