Music is for everyone…
And EVERYONE has a voice! Whether you want to be the next pop superstar or just like to sing in the shower, singing is for you! Getting in touch with your voice is both physical and mental—you may be surprised by how much confidence and happiness you gain in other areas of your life when you begin a vocal practice.

Music teaching philosophy
For private lessons, my specialty is beginner - intermediate voice and beginner piano. I focus on what the individual wants to learn but always mix in some theory, aural skills, and especially breath support. I really believe voice connects us to our body, emotions, and sense of self, so singing can do wondrous things for all areas of your life! Not everyone wants to perform or sing in front of others, but gaining control over your voice builds a confidence you can carry with you wherever you go.
Examples of techniques & skills I like to cover:
breath support
breath control
invisible inaudible breaths (for quick breathing in between phrases/notes)
vowel sounds
classical vs pop technique
safe belting
vibrato
soft palette positioning
smoothing over your break
sol fegge
scales
chords
arpeggios
sight reading
pitch matching
improvising
songwriting
melody writing
harmony writing
keys
transposition
rhythm (reading vs call & response)
exploring the character in your song
making a song your own
learning a new song you’ve never heard
stage performing
Trust your intuition and feel the music!
XOXO,
