- Lessons will consist of advanced breath support techniques, vocal resonance manipulation, stylistic interpretation, complex vocal embellishments, precise diction, vocal health maintenance, developing performance skills, harmonizing, sight-singing, advanced repertoire selection, and exploring different vocal registers with control - We will focus on refining existing vocal skills and addressing specific challenges within the singer's vocal type and chosen genre. -Our class will be structured as a 45-minute 1-1 session, meeting once weekly. We will cover the above listed topics, spending about 15 minutes of vocal warm-up and technique, 15 minutes of song study, and 15 minutes of performance skill development. - I teach with an encouraging and supportive approach. I create a class environment where students feel comfortable engaging with me in meaning conversations and are free to express themselves creatively. I allow students interests and personal goals to drive our lessons to meet their success. My approach to teaching is individualized, I seek to meet my student's specific needs vocally, as well as build their weaknesses and encourage their strengths. - Lessons are interactive, and students are encouraged to journal, and reflect in between lessons what they have learned and are learning. Audio clips, instrumentals, digital materials will be shared to enhance our learning experience.

I have taught musical theatre to middle/high school students for almost 6 years! For almost ten years, I have helped schools and churches put on musicals and live performances where I help develop their singing voices, stage presence and build their confidence! I focus mostly on these key things in my more personalized teaching sessions. I love to see my students grow in an area and over time musically.
