I believe my teaching style may best be described as ‘holistic’. The most effective way to teach a student is to understand their needs: emotionally, physically, cognitively. The teacher must consider the whole person: voice, mind, body, feelings, intellect, learning style, vocal history and goals. Vocalists sing for many different reasons. Some hope to have performing careers while others are recreational singers, or use singing as therapy. All are legitimate reasons for vocal study, but ultimately the voice must connect to the singer’s sense of self. The voice teacher facilitates and aids the singer in this process. The development of technique is not the end goal, but a means to an end; that of serving the ART of singing and enhanced musical communication.

I specialize in training students in vocal techniques and enhancing their musical and communication abilities. My instruction encompasses various aspects, including vocalization, breathing techniques, human anatomy, dramatic expression, music theory, ear training, musicality, language, and a diverse range of vocal repertoire, all complemented by performance experience.

Through voice lessons students have the transformative opportunity to invest in their voices, fostering not only their musical talents but also their personal growth, making them more resilient individuals and empathetic members of society.
