Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I teach the Versatile Voice -one foundation [Bel-Canto] facilitating many styles... in a user friendly format of vocal exercises that establish the right things happening in the body / voice system in the context of a variety of age appropriate music for school, church, musical theater, classical, competition - performance and audition ~ that will allow the singer:
FREEDOM to sing without tiring the voice
ABILITY to perfom all music with ease
VERSATILITY to sing any musical style classics to broadway
PRESERVATIUON & longevity. The voice cannot be hurt
COMMAND of the voice. The singer is in charge WITH CONFIDENCE

How did you get started teaching?
My concern for young people falling into vocal trouble by trying to imitate their favorite singers....and others who wish to minimize stress and maximize the vocal learning and performing process into one of ease and assurance ~ wanting to help the teachable and talented singer to develop healthy vocal habits that will serve them well in singing all kinds of music in a variety of performance scenarios.
What types of students have you worked with?
YOUTH - ADULT...many performing in musical theater - and competetive performance....and those who just want to enjoy their vocal gifts more fully.

Ask questions beyond price...ask for an audition or introductory lesson to become acquainted and get a feel for compatability and teaching style as you search for what is right for you
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
