My Teaching Philosophy

My intent when working with students is to guide them effectively in the principles of healthy voice production that facilitate easy and natural singing. Students will learn how to support the voice, how to free the articulators, how to increase the strength and flexibility of their voice as well as learn to implement the important aspects of good body alignment for singing.  We will focus on the expressive experience of singing through the  exploration of musical theater, jazz, sacred music, popular, art songs and arias, as well as the development of student's technical musical skills.

Most importantly, I believe it is important to provide an environment that fosters creativity and joy. 

I encourage my students that are interested in performing, to explore their potential and I will assist them in their audition preparation.  Regular studio recitals are designed to inspire their confidence.

It is indeed the artful heart that grows and communicates through song.
Come and sing!
