Teaching Philosophy

As a tenor, I have had considerable success in helping tenors access their high notes. I have also helped baritones shed excess weight (chest voice) some tend to carry up through their passagio(s) so that they are can access their high notes much more easily. I have had the most success in teaching women to mix belt (rather than full belt) healthily and with ring and resonance. A person's long-term vocal health is the most important thing to me--more important than any role, anywhere, anytime, anyhow.

Studio Policies

I teach Monday-Friday on the hour at 11, 12, 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. I charge $80/hr. I am an accomplished pianist as well, and can transpose most anything (except Sondheim and Adam Guettel).
