Hello! I am an opera singer/teacher located in Charlotte, NC. In my studio, my ultimate goal is to help my students build a solid vocal technique that liberates their authentic voice so that they can sing healthily and sustainably across all genres. Though I truly believe that the study of the voice is a lifelong process, most of my students begin seeing results in as little as a few weeks! As an opera singer myself, vocal technique is something I am extremely passionate about, and each lesson is tailor-made to suit the individual needs of my students. By aligning the body through the practices found in yoga and strengthening the organic production of the vocal mechanism, you will find yourself achieving heights you never dreamed of. My students currently range from beginners to young professionals looking to launch their solo music career. Together we will discover how to release bad habits and negative tensions in your voice. Whether you like to sing classical, musical theatre, rock or pop music, in my studio, you will be given the tools to do it all. In my lessons you can expect to receive a combination of the following: *Vocalizes catered to your individual needs *Basic fundamentals (breath energy and resonance) *Vocal register and range flexibility *Musicianship skills (pitch accuracy and melodic phrasing) *Music Theory *Singers diction (French, German, Italian, Spanish) *Audition coaching *Stage performance techniques *Character development Credentials: Bachelor of Music in Voice Masters of Music in Voice

Please note! I do NOT offer lessons shorter than an hour. Half-hour and 45-minute lessons ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I also don't generally accept children under ten years old unless they're unusually mature for their age and exceptionally talented. The extremely effective approach I use requires working very closely with you. As a result, I only teach ond-on-one live, here in my home studio. Please continue reading below to better appreciate the very high value my approach offers: If you want to free your potential as a singer and let it blossom fully, at Voice Instruction Charlotte you’ll get the understanding and experience you need to do exactly that. I'm an experienced professional singer and instructor. I had the great good fortune to study under a genius who was widely considered in Europe to be one of the few top vocal teachers in the world. I'm standing on the shoulders of a giant. I also worked in audio electronics for years. I understand voice science and how it sheds light on traditional voice teaching. Special techniques help you rapidly develop natural, efficient, and powerful but relaxed, healthy singing. Typical voice teachers understand nothing to very little of the principles and techniques that really work to advance your technique rapidly. The key: strain-free, relaxed skill in the voice itself fully uses the amazing power of breath from your diaphragm and the right adjustment in your vocal anatomy that takes advantage of the laws that govern the optimized production and transmission of sound from your larynx out into the performance venue. You’re freed from vocal strain even on very high notes. You project easily without a microphone. My many past and present students have experienced this for themselves. I work in all major musical genres, including Classical, Blues, Jazz, Scat, Rock and Country. Students range from amateurs to professionals, children ten years old to middle-aged adults and beyond---at all skill levels. We work comfortably, enjoyably with each student to reveal the relatively effortless vocal power and beauty anyone with a normal, healthy vocal anatomy has hidden within. ​Here at Voice Instruction Charlotte, solid, practical principles help you vastly more than learning a few new songs and pronunciation techniques. Careful observation and guidance helps you greatly improve the way your voice works. Extensive knowledge of the cream of traditional technique and the science behind it makes this possible. You won’t just stop wearing your voice out. You’ll build it with use! Come to Voice Instruction Charlotte to unlock the true power of your natural voice. I look forward to working with you!
