Why are we called to sing? We sing to commune with the depths and heights—the full range of life, but also the Life beyond the self. We channel something both ’of us’ and ‘beyond us.’ If we’re lucky, it is here we discover ecstasy and aliveness. Singing is alchemy. And all is welcome in the realm of song.

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.
