Each voice is a unique instrument that requires creative exploration. Knowing how our voices work empowers us to perform with full authentic artistry; therefore, I teach with a holistic approach rooted in voice science and anatomy.

 

I guide singers and actors to connect to their bodies. Through true embodiment, you can sing freely while clearly communicating impactful ideas through precise articulation, expressive interpretation, and motivated acting.

 

My core belief is this: singers are vocal athletes, and we must train with that mindset. Therefore, I teach functional technique through a streamlined pyramid visual of the vocal process: body alignment and breath management as the foundations for healthy production, followed by phonation, resonance, articulation, and artistry, in respective order. I invoke vocal philosophies from a variety of seminal pedagogues, including W. Stephen Smith, Claudia Friedlander, Kenneth W. Bozeman, Wendy D. Leborgne, and Marci Rosenberg.
 

With the support of a mindful voice instructor, students have the ability to grow into effective performers through thorough preparation. Furthermore, they gain the understanding of what vocal health is and how to use it while singing. My goal is to promote vocalists that possess the ability to sing using skilled, healthy technique that can be employed in all genres of music.

 

I am committed to elevating my students by challenging them to establish strong musicianship skills, exposing them to multiple styles of repertoire, and encouraging them to achieve their individual vocal potential through awareness and approach.
