Overview:
As a veteran industry singer, I've worked in the markets of Los Angeles, New York City, Europe, Japan and Las Vegas. I am accomplished in Classical, Jazz, Rock, Pop and Musical Theater styles and have professional experience in each of these genres. I am able to take a novice singer to professional and a professional to world class. My focus is on vocal technique in all commercial styles and establishing the insights and identity of a competent and successful singer. My teaching studio is equipped with concert keyboard and a professional PA system for the students use.
EXPERIENCE
I have taught beginners to headline concert singers and work with each student individually. What works for one will not necessarily work for all. Each singer has issues and insecurities unique to the individual. I clear out the blocks with simple techniques that a kindergarten child could understand, yet the techniques work at even the mastery level. Great singing is surprisingly easy once you understand the psychology of singing and apply effective training habits that reinforce the inner workings of the singer's experience which manifests the outward.
METHODS USED
I am very strong on vocal technique. I carve voices and create artists with their own unique sound that will sell in the music industry. No-nonsense. You will work hard if you come to me, but I get results every time when the student is ready to learn. My work is rooted in 30 years of training and research. Students utilize the "vocal gymnasium" and weekly assignments include technical audio modules, reading assignments and personal research explorations tailored to their individual aspirations and goals. As a coach and motivator, my methods are rooted in ultimate self-reliance. The singer on stage stands alone, without their coach at their side. Many of my current and former students tour nationally and globally and have the skills and character to manage their own day to day careers.

LESSON STYLE
A lot of technical definition and mastery of emotional delivery. We also work on breathing, phrasing and song interpretation, song delivery and characterization. I push my students, but gently and with a lot of sound encouragement. Most of my students become obsessed with singing once they realize how good they sound when the proper techniques are applied. Professional business skill development is also introduced to advanced singing students. I'm rather animate about work done outside the studio as well as in lesson sessions. Great singing is an everyday endeavor so I send home a packet of instructional materials with every lesson.
