Fast Facts
My approach to teaching voice in the studio is holistic, taking into account anatomy and physiology, proper vocal technique, music theory, music history, and language considerations in order to assist students in discovering their true voice. My philosophy as a teacher is to equip my students with the information and application techniques they need to go off on their own and be able to sing with freedom and joy, all the while developing a comprehensive understanding of how their voice works and how it interacts with the world around them. Music making should be enjoyable, and it is my utmost desire to follow alongside my students in making the endeavor of singing as joyful and rewarding as possible.
