I enjoy watching students progress and improve. It brings joy to them and myself. Playing guitar or bass for me is a form of art therapy/meditation.

Having pursued music from a young age, my experiences as a vocal soloist and choir member have brought me all over the world, performing in such musical landmarks as the Sydney Opera House, Smetana Hall, and Carnegie Hall.

Typically I start off gaining some insight into my students. Who do they look up to, the type of music they're into, what genres they want to improve in, etc... After gathering that information I ask them to sing a song that they enjoy or that means something to them. Based off of that I've gathered a substantial amount of information about their voice and their preferences to develop a curriculum/course outline for them. Read More

I am a Highly trained student of “ Belle Canto” singing. This is the study of classical voice focusing on beautiful tone and fluidity in all styles. I sang and still sing rock and jazz regularly.

By utilizing a process-oriented approach (as opposed to a results-driven, or worse, a talent-based one), I strive to create a space in which progress is the only standard and therefore experimentation and vulnerability are encouraged. With this mindset, critiques can be honest and specific, focusing on the work and not external expectations. Artistry - Another, possibly more personal, aspect of our expression. This includes everything from ornamentation (riffing, messa di voce) to remaining in the moment as we perform. Read More
