About
My service stands out because I am a vocal technition as well as a performance coach. I teach how to sing . Not just songs! I have taught many people who are now very successful such as Kirsten Maldanado from Pentatonix. Country singer Marin Morris , Trevor Douglas ,American Idol. I have students on Broadway and in professional bands! I am truly invested in my students.
I am also a professional who is an Equity actress. I have been on Broadway, music videos and informercials😊
I love the one on one and really getting to know my students. It helps me to know better how to help them, their blocks (insecurities) and how to get their needs met. I love teaching. I also learn a lot from my students and truly enjoy their wisdom and talent.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I have the student do a series of vocal warm ups to hear the voices strengths and weaknesses . Then I have them sing something for me. This gives me more information. We discuss their goals and I give them an evaluation and we make a plan for success.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor of Music/ Theatre from Shenandoah College and Conservatory of Music . A professional 2 year diploma from the Hart School of Music. I am a member of The National Teachers of Singing. I am a member of Actors Equity , the professional actors union.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $ 60.00 for an hour and $35 for a half hour lesson. I make it affordable so the student can come every week!
