About
I'm a opera professional singer, vocal coach, & piano teacher with Bachelor's & Master's in Voice performance. I've been working as a freelance singer in different styles (classical, classical cross-over, musical theater, and jazz) over the past 20 years. I am also K-12 is Music Teacher Certified and have taught private voice & piano lessons and directed various singing groups and choirs for the past 15 years.
I offer different services including:
- Online Singing lessons and artists career development for all levels
Teaching Style
My teaching style is very upbeat and fun. I teach from the school of bel canto "beautiful singing". Each lesson is a combination of physical stretching, vocal warm-up, technique building, and repertoire or skill development.
