Teaching Philosophy

Two of my greatest passions are music and teaching. My teachers have greatly impacted my life and my goal is to inspire my students in a similar way. Music education in particular has enriched my study of other subjects and has aided in many important and practical life skills; including communication, focus, empathy, and discipline.

Rooted in the classical tradition my focus is on building a solid and healthy vocal technique and applying that to the repertoire of choice. I have acquired many different tools for teaching through my studies and teaching experience. My experience in dance, Alexander Technique, and acting informs my teaching approach. I include body awareness, character interpretation, and making the music come alive as an integral part of the lessons.

If applicable, lessons may also include techniques for audition, competition, and performance preparation as well as beginner piano, reading music, theory and ear training. Everyone has a unique voice and learning style and I tailor my teaching to each individual. I love to teach and enjoy helping others achieve their personal singing goals. It would be a pleasure to help you discover your voice!
