Teaching Philosophy

My mission in teaching is to inspire confidence, provide guidance, and support each student’s unique journey through music. In my private studio, I teach all ages and meet the singer wherever they are in their musical journey to help them achieve their personal goals. I teach a healthy vocal technique tailored to each individual body and voice that can be applied to classical, musical theatre, contemporary and folk styles of singing.
