-We'll first start by doing group warmups to establish a healthy vocal technique before singing. -Students will then choose their favorite song to sing and present it to the class! -Together we'll work on perfecting these songs for a live performance. This is a safe space to practice for an upcoming audition or recording, or just to learn new material. Songs do not have to be memorized, and can be performed acapella or with a backing track! You can any style of music: Rock, Pop, R&B, Country, Musical Theater, Jazz, Classical. No experience necessary, join in on the fun of singing! My classes are very encouraging and supportive for every learner.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Doctoral Degree in Education from St. Thomas University
I love teaching private lessons! I specialize in voice, piano, and songwriting from beginner to advances in classical, jazz, musical theatre, and contemporary music. I like to start each private lesson off with warm-ups and theory and then continue working through the lesson on repertoire that is appropriate for the student. I am especially good with sight-reading as well as preparing students for high school performing arts programs, summer camps, summerstock, and college auditions. I try to be positive in my teaching, but also constructive; to really help students become the best musicians they can be. Whether they are pursuing music and theater professionally or as a hobby. I want to provide my students with quality music lessons, just as I received quality music lessons growing up! I have ten years of experience teaching online and in private, parochial, charter, and public school settings primarily in urban environments and underserved communities. Currently, I serve as the Director of Choir and Musical Theatre at St. Thomas University, in Miami, FL. As a performer, my favorite performances include touring with Disney Live!, Nickelodeon at Sea, Carnival Cruiselines, and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
