Through patience, humor, kindness and gentle guidance, I coach my students by taking the time to get to know them, as well as their individual voices. My method is built off of the love of the craft, and the connection music provides to us all. When a student enters my studio, it is about their voice and growing with that voice, and in turn, becoming not only the singer, but the individual they would like to become. I simply help to guide that personality’s voice through music. The results are up to the individual by becoming the best versions of themselves they can be, by encouraging them to envision where they would like their voices to express, excel and explore.
