In this ongoing class, we will explore the career of a different Broadway musical leading lady each week. We will explore their education, training, early career, and Broadway career. I encourage discussion and the sharing of opinions. This class will include lecture, slides, video clips, and discussion.

Students will learn about the leading ladies of Broadway Musicals, both from the Golden Years of Broadway, current divas, and the up and comers.

I am a fun, laidback teacher who encourages participation and good conversations and discussions. I am very good with both introverted and extroverted students. I am not a strict teacher. I encourage self expression. With that said, I DO maintain class control and keep things flowing. I also make sure that all learners have equal time, and don't allow one student to dominate the class. I would love for your learner to join me.
