Philosophy

I work with voice students of all ages to find freedom and confidence in their unique sound.  Lessons are tailored to the goals and current ability of the student and I combine an image-based and kinesthetic approach to help students develop physical awareness to produce a consistent sound and language to describe what they are experiencing.  A typical lesson will have technical exercises, a musical literacy component, and a repertoire component.  Although my background is in opera and art song, I have helped students achieve desired results in multiple genres including folksong, musical theatre, pop, and rock.  My goal, always, is to help each individual take ownership of their voice.
