About Me
Greetings! I enjoy sharing valuable information with students that aids them in achieving their goals. I have always enjoyed a variety of musical genres and I speak several languages. These two key details have enabled me to teach students from diverse backgrounds effectively, due to my understanding of how language and culture develop one’s voice. I like to equip my students with solid, science-based information about how their bodies function during singing, so that when they encounter difficulty, they can find solutions on their own. My lessons are fun, and I am thrilled when my students realize that every small victory is worth celebrating, because they add up to the full package we’re building together. My job is to gain my students’ trust through effective leadership and respect, because the greatest gains are made in an arena where a student feels comfortable and appreciated.
