I have taught many students over the years, and much of my experience has taken place in a real world rehearsal room environment. With well over 100 productions under my belt I've worked with casts on learning music and shaping songs. As a still working professional this experience makes me highly suited to adjust and respond to every students needs, and meet them where they are in their development. Through crafting 1,000's of performances I can bring you real world application that will best prepare you to find the confidence you need to perform, whether as a hobby or professionally. Read More

Once students are more advanced we begin to add solo repertoire tailored to the level and genres the student is interested in. With my voice students, we begin by studying how the voice works and we develop a routine of exercises that help develop the proper coordination necessary for healthy vocal production. We then learn to apply these principles to whatever song we wish to sing, ensuring that whenever we use our voice we are doing it in the healthiest and most efficient way possible. Read More
