This learning environment is supportive, grounding, and percolates with excitement for the craft of song.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been a singing teacher for over twenty years. Having lived in New York City, I trained with some of the best teachers at Sarah Lawrence College, Circle in the Square Theatre School, as well as at Oxford. My students ranged from " just for fun" to Broadway Bound and everything in between. Watching my students perform gives me so much joy as I see them take ownership of their voice and performance. I have students from all over the world and coast to coast and have enjoyed hearing about their new favorite hobby or sometimes, their career! I have my own 9.5 year old son who is also quite the singer. I cannot wait to meet you all.
