Most voice teachers come from one world. I come from three.

​

Most singing teachers and speech trainers come from one world. I come from three:

 

My career has been shaped by decades performing, a career developing and directing public school choral music and musical theater programs, teaching voice and speech classes at the university/college level, private studio voice teaching/coaching, developing and implementing programs for voice rehabilitation in the private studio, and building collaborative frameworks and cultivating strategic partnerships with leading ENTs and Speech-Language Pathologists. As a Singing Voice Specialist (SVS) and Vocologist, I bring together the perspectives of performer, educator, and clinician to provide a truly comprehensive approach to the singing and speaking voice. For singers and speakers seeking instruction, as well as those recovering from vocal fatigue, strain, or injury, this collaborative, team-based approach provides the knowledge and support necessary for long-term vocal health and success.

​​

 As an instructor, I don't simply tell you what to do. I explain how your voice works, why a technique works, what is happening within your instrument, and how to apply that knowledge independently. My goal is to help you become an informed, confident, and self-aware singer/speaket who can recognize, listen to, and respond to your own instrument.

That rare combination of performer, educator, and clinician is why singers who feel they have "tried everything" often discover a new path forward here. Rather than asking you to rely indefinitely on someone else's instructions, I teach you to understand your voice and develop the skills for self-mastery—so you can ultimately become your own best teacher.

              One teacher. Decades of experience. A lifetime of understanding the voice.​

   ​

                                                                   Training that goes deeper than the studio​​

• ​Bachelor of Music, Applied Voice (minor in Piano), Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of Music

• Master of Music, Voice (minor in Vocal Pedagoay), New England Conservatory of Music

• Postgraduate study with distinguished faculty affiliated with the Julliard School, New York City

• Clinical training in speech and voice disorders, completed while serving as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Department of Speech Communication at the University of Rhode Island.

• ​Clinical training is what changes everything. It means I understand not only how a beautiful voice is built, but how a damaged one heals.​

​

How I teach: Art meet scientific evidence​​

No two voices are the same, so no two lesson plans are either.​

Every student/client starts with a real assessment, your strengths, your obstacles, your goals. From there, I build

a customized plan designed just for you, for lasting growth, not quick fixes. My style is warm, encouraging, and honest,

and fun because confidence and technique grow in the same soil.

​

Bel Canto foundations. Contemporary freedom​​

I pair the time-tested principles of classical Bel Canto- natural vocal ease, breath control, resonance- with the stylist flexibility of contemporary commercial music (CCM). That means pop, rock, jazz, and musical theater sung with real stylistic authenticy and real technical precision.

​

The result: You learn to project and protect​

You sing across genres without strain or injury. You develop a sound that's distinctive, resonant, and genuine.

 

Rooted in voice science. Constantly updated​

I am a lifelong student in my field field. I maintain ongoing Continuing Education (CEUs) and  trained in McClosky Technique, Estill Voice Training, Speech Level Singing (SLS), Somatic Voicework (the LoVetri Method), and Complete Vocal Technique (CVT), drawing from all of them to build an approach tailored to the singer in front of me.

​

​                                                               Who I works with:​

My students/clients are singers, speakers, actors and performers in addition to teachers, attorneys, clergy, executives, auctioneers, and anyone whose career depends on being heard. To ensure your success, singing voice clients, recovering from vocal fatigue, strain, or injury are best served through a collaborative approach involving myself, your ENT and your speech-language pathologist. I work with diverse backgrounds and experience levels across the board. My studio is based in Tucson, Arizona, with lessons available locally and nationwide via Zoom using professional audio settings for exceptional sound quality and a genuinely effective online experience.​
