I am a relaxed and easy-going teacher. I am good at staying focused but also fun to be around!

I believe that every style can and should be approached with appropriate traditional technique. My students focus on learning to use their whole body as their instrument with proper breathing, posture, and diction.

With each new student we discuss to make sure I know their goals and what they would like to gain from studying the voice. Read More
