About
I believe singing needs to be a natural expression of communication of ideas, soul, and feelings. First of all singing needs to feel natural to the singer.
I don’t believe in gimmicks in regards to vocal production. Gimmicks are a short cut that produce more problems than solutions.
I teach speak singing. Turning honest communicative speaking into vocal production. It’s easy and fun to learn at any age.
I’m also a rather accomplished pianist, therefore I play your songs during lessons.
I use songs to teach you to sing and use vocal exercises sparingly.
I love to help people share their life through song.
