Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been performing for over 30 years as a soloist or within a group. I began teaching in 2006, and I focus on performance based lessons. My teaching curriculum fuses contemporary methods with classical elements for well rounded vocal techniques.
One of my favorite performances was on the Grand Ole Opry Stage when I was 19.
