Sing with more freedom and joy! I am a Juilliard-trained singer with 22 years' teaching experience. I've had an international stage career, including the Metropolitan Opera. I offer technical, foundational, and rehabilitational singing instruction, plus career, dramatic, and language coaching. I work both live and virtually. My primary focus is creating a warm and non-judgmental atmosphere for ANYONE to increase their joy and health through singing! NATS, AGMA member.

Teaching guitar is my passion. I believe that everyone has a musical potential and I love helping people develop their musicality and I firmly believe that the saying "if you give a person a fish, you feed them for a day. But if you teach someone to fish, you feed them for a lifetime." I put every part of me into finding the best way for my students to learn. I have over eight years experience teaching guitar in a variety of styles including rock, blues, finger-style, and classical guitar.
