In The Studio-Where the Musical Journey Begins

As a teacher I am here to guide each student along their journey of self-discovery.  Everyone has a preferred method of learning, and I tailor each lesson to that specific student. 

I do not believe in trying to make or force a particular sound with any student.  My motto is “if you can feel it you can repeat it”. What I mean by this is when a student experiences the unique sensation of using the breath efficiently or producing sound without tension a light bulb turns on and they now have a better chance of continuing proper technique.  In order to help students feel these sensations in the body that are necessary for singing I use various physical exercises to help create more body awareness. For singers our instrument is our body, and everyone’s body is uniquely their own. For this reason I may have a student singing against a wall to improve posture or lying on the floor to feel the power of the breath.

While studying in Chicago, I had the pleasure of participating and observing many master classes with world-class singers and musical pedagogues.  I draw upon all my learning to form a well-rounded, diverse, and all-encompassing music education.

From these experiences I have developed a creative and holistic teaching style rooted in the classic tradition.
