Learn from Great Classical Voice Teachers

Hi! I am so glad you are here! I’m a vocal coach and keynote speaker-singer with 30 years of vocal study and performance experience. For over 14 years, I’ve also mentored individuals, helping them overcome challenges and reach their personal goals.

I am an international opera singer and have sung at houses such as the Hamburg State opera, English National Opera London, Semperoper Dresden, Opernhaus Zürich, Gran Teatre Liceu Barcelona, Dutch National Opera, Salzburg, Rome in leading roles such as Carmen, Isabella, Adalgisa, Ariodante, Orfeo, Radamisto, Cenerentola, Hermia.

Greetings! I am a pianist, opera singer and composer with a home-base in Charleston, SC. I love teaching beginners and giving them a wonderful foundation. I also enjoy working with advanced students discovering how to play or sing with orchestra or prepare for auditions. I believe in sound before sight music is an aural language.

I have both a bachelor's and master's degree in Vocal Performance. While I initially studied and performed operatically, I was also drawn to performing in the musical theatre genre. Since then I have completed courses in the mechanics of mix and belt and voice function.

I believe that music is the greatest tool humans have to foster connection with themselves and humanity. Therefore, my goal is to help you find the best means of musical expression. I have been teaching private lessons to students of all ages and levels for the past ten years. My focus is on a holistic approach to music making.

I focus on the individual needs of my students. I prepare my students for colleges and competitions and auditions if this is their chosen career path. While I'm a performer myself I'm dedicated to my students and their musical development. I expect my students to put the effort and work on the information given about the pieces and the troubling spots.

I have been deeply involved with music for nearly 25 years. At the age of 12, I started private classical voice training with a professional coach. Music (specifically singing) has been a major part of my personality ever since. When I first started singing, I didn't have any money for professional lessons.

Let's make music fun!! One of the most important jobs as a music teacher is to develop a lifetime love of music! When a student enjoys piano, then practicing is much more fun! What kind of music would you like to make? If you interested in learning chords, improvising, or studying traditional piano, consider me as a potential teacher!
