PRIVATE Vocal Lessons

My style of teaching is tailor-made for each individual student. I teach all levels of singers from beginners to professionals and every student of mine receives a personalized lesson and approach to his or her development.

Singing is not a science; it is a highly personal combination of technique and musicality; the physical and the emotional. As a professional singer, I understand the demands of combining my emotional and musical instincts with a well-founded technique, and I help each of my students strike that balance. 

Offered but not necessary, is a vocal recital at the end of the school year, when my students can display their newly learned repertoire and techniques!

Some of the things we work on:

• Focusing and gathering your sound so it is as efficient and resonant as possible with the least amount of work being done by your muscles.

• Finding where your tension lies and releasing it to produce a more relaxed, effortless sound.

• Making singing feel good; no, GREAT!

• Exercising to maximize your time while vocalizing and getting you warmed up quicker.

• Using the words in your songs to help "pop" your sound without doing any extra work.

• Establishing maintenance and "survival techniques" for singing professionally, on an 8-show-a-week schedule.

• Building your repertoire list.

• Performing the song: the final product!
