Teaching Philosophy

As an instructor in Voice & Drama, I bring over 15 years experience as a technician, coach and performer. I have taught all ages and skill levels, from beginner to professional, and pride myself on being an empathetic and spirited teacher. I strongly believe in the power of rhythm and melody bringing forth the very best out of a performer, and also believe that the very best singers are those properly endowed with musical, technical, and artistic skills that can be developed under the watchful, caring eye of the proper mentor.

Studio Policy

-Lessons are $80.00 per hour ($45.00 for half an hour).
