Private Music Lessons in Orem, UT

There is no secret to singing - it comes from a lot of hard work and the desire to learn to sing with correct technique. Years ago (after having sung with less than stellar vocal technique) I was put on vocal rest for three months (no talking, singing, nada, zip!) while my vocal folds healed. I then had to completely rebuild my voice from the ground up. I am passionate about teaching correct vocal technique the first time around! I love hearing a student say - "That was easy!" Yes! Singing can be easy, when you learn how to do it correctly. These light-bulb moments are my favorite.
