vocal pedagogy

I use a healthy, holistic, natural approach to vocal technique. We work together to free any entanglements and equip you to communicate freely, opening your channel to your creative source.

I emphasize balanced, natural, uninhibited singing and a technique that allows the voice to be flexible across a wide range of repertoire.

My role as teacher and mentor is to empower you with the tools to become a completely open vessel for story, and music to flow through you freely, uninhibited, and for you to be completely free in the moment.

I am a passionate advocate for vocal health. If you believe you have experienced vocal damage, we will use a specific and holistic approach to transformation and healing. So far my students who have come with some vocal issues have experienced as much as 5 whole steps higher in their range over time!

I believe that any and every singer with the dream of being a professional can accomplish it. You will never hear me say you can't do this role, or you shouldn't try for that big dream. Because yes, you can. If you show up for yourself, keep honing your craft, and learning the tools, you can!

This quote by Martha Graham sums up my #1 piece of advice to young singers:

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open."
