Core Teaching Values:
As a teacher I strive to cultivate an environment where students dare to explore their voice, develop a confident stage presence, and spark their curiosity. I want all my students to enjoy the work and process of building their vocal technique. Having fun while fostering an understanding of the voice is the focus of my teaching.
My teaching prioritizes the use of optimal breath, phonation, and resonance so that all students will grow no matter what their vocal goals might be.
I believe that every student has a unique voice, and therefore repertoire selections will be curated for each student. I want my students to perform music they are passionate about, and I will encourage exploration of less familiar genres.
