I aim to create a safe and open space for students to try, make mistakes, and make progress in a supportive environment.

I like to carve each lesson for what my students need, and it has a fun, experimental element: special technical exercises for your voice, listening and repeating work-outs for breath and pitch, and even more specifics for your goals.

This is followed by working on pieces of music selected by both the student and I, tailored to the students needs and goals. Read More
