When you then consider your one-of-a-kind personality and the life experiences, thoughts, and dreams that make you the individual you are, you can begin to understand that expressing yourself as a vocal artist means far more than simply learning to "sing correctly."  Rather, it is an opportunity to refine your very own unique sound that is waiting to emerge as you support, release, and energize your instrument.

As each student enters my studio, I consider it an opportunity and privilege to embark on a collaborative "journey of discovery" together -- that by exploring new ideas through the application of both time-tested and fresh techniques and exercises, you will be provided a means of expression and communication you never knew was possible.  

To that end, whether you have a long history of singing or very little experience using your voice, and whether you are younger, middle-aged, or an older adult, my teaching philosophy is to help you achieve your goals by building on foundational and cutting-edge vocal and performance techniques that will help you sing with freedom, musicality, and expertise in any style!  In addition, I am dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment in each lesson where you feel safe to joyfully explore, experiment, and learn -- an atmosphere of growth and affirmation that has been a hallmark of my studio for over three decades.

In pursuit if these goals, students are offered a variety of lesson options according to their needs and budgets.  Students may choose either 30, 45 or 60-minute in-person or online lessons.  The regularity of the lessons is entirely up to the student, with some choosing to come every week, some twice a week, and others once every two weeks.  Regular lessons spread out beyond two weeks is not recommended, however, as progress can be stalled with too much time between meetings.  

Following the first free trial lesson, a regular lesson time is discussed and planned according to student-teacher schedules.  Payment for subsequent lessons is either by cash, check, or Venmo, and may be paid once every lesson or every two lessons.  

I look forward to welcoming you to the studio!
