About
I not only focus on vocal training, I also teach my students how to read music because I believe music theory is a crucial part of developing a strong voice.
I grew up singing with my family, with friends, in school and community plays, and in auditioned professional choirs, so I know the thrill that comes from a successful performance that is a result of lots and lots of practice. I love teaching kids and youth and seeing their confidence blossom!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I begin with a "get-to-know-you" lesson where we discuss the student's goals and past experience. This helps me to know where to start them in their training. We then set a date & time, usually weekly, for their lessons, and each week we will work on music theory, warmups, and songs. I will usually choose a few songs and let the student choose a few songs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was vocally trained for 3 years in high school, then I was part of an auditioned college choir for 3 years, and after that I was in a professional choir for a year. I have performed as a lead in many plays since I was 12. I have played the piano since I was 5. I have a very good musical ear and many years of training.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $25 for a 30-minute lesson, $35 for 45-minutes, and $45 for a full hour.
How did you get started teaching?
I taught music at a private school and one of the students asked if I would teach her private lessons. As soon as I started I had many more students interested in lessons, so I became an official voice teacher!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have taught students as young as 5 and as old as 21. Most of my students are beginners, but I have had several students who have had previous voice teachers and were much more experienced.
