Teacher expertise and credentials
I have worked with this professional vocal technique since 1998. I have taught young singers in the NYC metropolitan area since 2012 and have seen their voices develop with freedom throughout the range of the voice. I have observed hours and hours of voice lessons of children Broadway singers in NYC using this technique. I love helping young singers understand their unique voice and sing with confidence.
I also love the online classroom, both as a student having completed a Master Certificate in songwriting with Berklee College of Music's online school and as a teacher, as it creates a rich learning experience for students with its many resources and ability to enable communication with other students.
