About
No two lessons are ever the same. Every student who comes through my door is a unique individual with different needs, abilities, and goals. I don't want you to become who I or anyone else thinks you "should" be; I want you to become who YOU were created to be, which only YOU can truly define!
This doesn't mean I won't challenge you or stretch you beyond what you *think* you are capable of; growth can't happen if you don't step outside the comfort zone.
No vocal style or musical genre is inherently better or worse than another. I will not force you to sing any type of music you don't want to. Again, I *always* encourage growth and exploration. But if something doesn't motivate you enough to truly want to do the work, I'd be doing you a disservice if I were to force you to continue, so don't be afraid to speak up!
The human life journey and the vocal journey cannot be separated. It is a great privilege for me to witness the tremendous personal growth in my students that comes along with the vocal and musical growth.
I love helping my students discover they can do things and stretch themselves far beyond they ever thought possible. Many people make the mistake of assuming our voices are set and fixed from birth, you've got what you've got, you either won the genetic lottery or you didn't. Nothing could be further from the truth! Like athletic training, our voices are incredibly flexible and versatile, and can be trained and coordinated just like the rest of the muscles in our body. Combined with each person's completely unique anatomy, the possiblities are endless!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We'll start out by having a conversation where I'll ask you some questions to get to know you better. What brought you here today? Where are you on your vocal/musical/life journey right now? What are your goals? What do you hope to get out of our time together? Etc.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been singing and performing for over 15 years. I studied commercial music at Millikin University in Decatur, IL. I am a certified voice instructor and graduate of the Voice Teacher Training program from New York Vocal Coaching, one of the top vocal studios in New York City.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
For prospective new students, I offer a one-time, no-obligation first lesson for us to get to know each other, and for you to determine if I'm a good fit for you. A 30 minute lesson is $30, and a 60 minute lesson is $50. (I highly recommend choosing 60 minutes, especially for a first lesson. Time flies like you wouldn't believe!!)
If after a trial lesson you decide you want to continue working with me, I'm currently charging a fee of $120 per month for once-a-week lessons at 30 minutes each, or $200 per month for 60 minutes. Payment is due by the 5th of the month that you plan to take lessons. I accept cash (receipt provided), check, PayPal, or Cash App.
