I have taught voice, music theory, music history, and aural skills of all genres and voice parts for several years. I can teach all levels including collegiate, and have studied at NYU myself. I have been singing for well over a decade, including for choir, musicals, solo recitals, and operas. The most important part of singing is vocal health! We can work towards your goals for voice with techniques to ensure vocal strength and agility. The techniques in the lessons I offer will be 100% reliable that you will be able to use for a strong voice your whole life! In addition to vocal pedagogy, I can also help with stage presence, IPA, and creating the story behind your song! Singing is techniques but it’s also self expression and connecting with others, so be yourself and bring whatever you’d like to work on!
