Singing is a personal and whole-body experience. It requires open and honest communication which is the core of my teaching style. Every student who visits my studio arrives with their own story, natural vocal abilities and ambitions. We work together to achieve their goals, and attain a healthy life-long voice.
I teach in the Bel Canto style, which concentrates on focused breath control, open and relaxed vowel-centered sound, evenness through the passagio, and long fluid phrasing. Learning to sing correctly and consistently is a process and a journey which is exciting and rewarding. The emphasis is on sensation, rather than sound. Stripping away physical and mental barriers is key to vocal success. Once technique becomes rote, the artist is unencumbered and emotion is allowed to flow effortlessly through the voice.
It is a privilege to work with each and every one of my students. I learn just as much from my students as they do from me. Whether individuals are coming to me for fun, personal growth, or professional “tune-ups,” my students become part of my studio family. I am honored to be trusted with their instrument.
I look forward to seeing you in the studio!
