About
In person lessons in NYC and Virtual Lessons for voice and piano
For 13 years I've helped performance-minded Classical, Musical Theater and Jazz singers develop a reliable, expressive technique and embrace their unique voice to become confident, evolving artists. In lessons you'll find clear, anatomy-based instruction, exploration and encouragement, and usually a lot of laughter. I teach in-person lessons in Brooklyn and teach virtually to students around the world! Please read through my rates on the FAQs page and leave a message about your interests and goals before contacting.
Education: I have my Master's of Music from the New England Conservatory and Bachelor's degrees in Voice and Theater from Wheaton College. My operatic training is with MaryAnn McCormick of the Metropolitan Opera and I currently specialize in the works of Handel, Mozart and modern composers. As a jazz vocalist, I've studied with the inimitable Brad Williams of the New 21st Century Review. For 6 years I was a core member of Arena Theater - one of Chicago's premier acting companies and currently perform on stages in Boston and New York. I studied voice for actors for four years with Jen Cribs, one of six teachers in the world certified to teach on behalf of Patsy Rodenburg - the world's leading expert on voice for the theater. My students have been admitted to top conservatories, performed in national tours, and debuted solo albums in Folk, Rock, Pop and Jazz styles.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We'll start with a 45-minute, virtual trial lesson ($20) to discuss your goals, consider what the first month of lessons could look like, go over my policies and then work on some music! If we decide that I am the teacher for you, we'll set up our lesson time, payment, etc. over email!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a student myself I've taken voice lessons for 16 years and piano lessons for 24 from some of the world's best musicians. I have a Masters of Music in Vocal Performance from the New England Conservatory and Bachelors degrees in Voice and Theater from Wheaton College. My operatic training is with MaryAnn McCormick of the Metropolitan Opera and I currently specialize in the works of Handel, Mozart and modern composers. As a jazz vocalist, I've studied with the inimitable Brad Williams of the New 21st Century Review. For 5 years I was a core member of Arena Theater - one of Chicago's premier acting companies - and have studied voice for the stage with Jenn Cribbs and Shakespeare with Mark Lewis. I have sung in some of the best jazz clubs in Chicago and performed roles in opera houses around the country. I am a full member of the National Association of the Teacher's of Singing. I often teach international students and I have advanced certifications in teaching ESL (English as a second language).
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I teach 30, 45 and 55-minute weekly virtual lessons. Students pay a flat, monthly rate that includes their reserved time, sheet music, tailored practice materials, and support between lessons. Students commit to lessons for a term or the remainder of a term and pricing is determined during our free consultation meeting based on the student's needs and goals. Lesson terms are Spring: January-April Summer: May-August Fall: September - December
