This should be a song your learner is already familiar with so as not to worry about memorizing lyrics during class time. I am quite familiar with music from the Disney repertoire, and children’s music theatre pieces as well, but anything goes from rock to pop to country just please let me know in advance so I can prepare for class ahead of time. I truly look forward to singing with you! Please do not hesitate to reach out about further information and details.

I specialize in building confidence as part of each and every class. I myself used to be an extremely shy young performer and through some amazing vocal teachers, I can’t imagine a life without being on stage. 5- If siblings or friends would like to take this class together, let’s absolutely arrange this!

Hi there! I am absolutely thrilled to be sharing my voice and performance art based classes over the Outschool platform. My goal for every class is to encourage self confidence in your learners in a fun, high energy, and inviting space.
I am a Canadian music theatre artist and vocalist who holds a High Honours degree in Music Theatre Performance. I have performed on stages across the globe including Canada, Europe, and Dubai. I have performed as a mainstage singer with Disney Cruise Lines on board the Disney Fantasy, with Canada’s Wonderland, and as lead soprano of the opening cast on board the AIDA Nova.
Performance aside, I have been working with youth in various capacities over the last decade and am always looking at ways to inspire growth through teaching and the arts.
I teach voice lessons with a focus on classical voice technique as a foundation. I will help your learner safely sing various styles of music from rock to pop to music theatre. I love all things music and voice, so to share that passion with your learners is a dream come true.
Currently, I am working with Canada's Mini Pop Kids as their vocal coach helping get them ready for their upcoming tour. I have worked as a youth talent wrangler and acting coach on set for commercial and print shoots in Toronto. I teach set etiquette for little ones and help maintain high levels of performance energy during long shoot days. I also coach young actors during filming to get immediate results on screen.
I also work as a professional princess for the Toronto based party company, Forever Fairest. I lead high-energy princess sing alongs, host all sorts of dance games with introductory choreography, and more.
My work with the YMCA included teaching various classes like Arts and Crafts, Storybook Craft Time, Tiny Tots Soccer, and Fitness for Youth! I was a day camp and leadership camp counsellor for a number of years and also spearheaded a semester long acting program.
As a professional music theatre performer, I work with children of all ages in shows of various capacities. Starting out in community theatre as a child myself, I always do what I can to make everyone feel welcome, important, and inspired. The teachers I remember most are the ones who encouraged me to follow my dreams while instilling the importance of work ethic in a lively classroom setting.
I look forward to hearing from you and I cannot wait to see your learners shine in class.

Hours and waitlist:
Kindly note that I reside in Toronto so I am in Eastern Time. I do not offer weekend classes or weekday classes past 6pm ET at this time. I do have a waitlist on the go for recurring voice lesson times specifically for after school hours. Please reach out to be placed on the waitlist. Please note, I am out of the office on weekends, kindly expect a follow up response to inquiry emails the following Monday.
Refunds and Transfers:
Kindly provide me with minimum 24 hours notice for last minute cancellations, transfers, or swaps. 24 hours gives me the minimum time required to fill your reserved slot with a waitlisted student. I can not grant refunds or transfer requests for missed classes as your enrolment takes a space away from another learner. I also schedule my day around back to back sessions. Thank you for your understanding!
Siblings:
As per Outschool's safety protocol, each learner must be booked in and enrolled individually. No worries at all if your learners want to share a screen. For combined private voice sessions, I do offer sibling discounts. Please reach out for further pricing details! I unfortunately do not provide sibling discounts for group class rates.
