Teaching Philosophy

“ My approach is to teach the basics of good technique- to help each student to understand how his or her voice works- and then teach the student to apply good vocal technique to whatever style of music they are interested in. I have had great success in helping people who think that they are tone-deaf to learn to match pitch and sing in tune. I also work on gently easing students into performance, When they feel that they are ready and only if they wish to do so. I am careful to do this in a gentle and gradual way that does not involve experiences that are too challenging or intimidating. I am committed to making the lessons a FUN and rewarding process and providing an opportunity for my students to learn and grow, in every possible sense.”
