Voice Lessons in Rancho Cordova, CA

Pedagogy is something that I love to do !! As I believe to teach is to learn twice. Little learning is dangerous - my policy it’s okay to be slow learner provided one achieves mastery !! I’m here to help you from all angles to become a forever learner , seeking and growing knowledge.

Hello! Let’s get your voice to the next level and beyond. I've worked with countless singers over the past 14 years. Whether they’re a touring artist, budding star, high school student preparing for a vocal audition, singing to oneself in the car, to prepping for karaoke, overcoming stage fear, songwriting, etc. I’ve seen it all and guarantee you will improve your voice. A graduate of SFSU, with extensive experience and knowledge of vocal pedagogy, I’ve taken music in my own career to helping others achieve their dreams at the same time. There are a lot of factors that go into singing and everyone is unique, so finding a coach that will not only help your voice but motivate you, but put a specific course of action is what spurs the best outcome. Once the singers’ technique and range are decent, we continue to refine and eliminate bad habits, and begin to work on performance and record in the studio more and more. Every person has unique needs and goals so each session is tailored. I am very active in the music industry, performing, touring, recording, etc. It is best when receiving instruction from someone who actively does what they teach. I have been fortunate enough to get many songs on TV and have produced theme songs for different network shows. I currently have students competing on the voice, getting leads in local musical theater, to releasing their own albums on Spotify, etc and touring. I always ask, "If you had everything you wanted out of your voice, what would you do with that?" Let's get you to the next level:) There is nothing more satisfying than giving to others. When you see vocal breakthroughs on a daily basis, it can even be hard to not get a little teary eyed! I genuinely love seeing my singers improve and knock down barriers. As far as I am concerned, we are in this together and you WILL improve.

Music is my life. Music is an expression of who I am and what I like to bring to the world. My services are threefold. I am a performer (Vocals and Guitar) and a music educator. For more than 25 years, I have provided award winning musical services as a solo vocalist with guitar, duo, trio and full band, playing tunes from Standards, Easy Listening to Classic Rock and Originals. My Band has been a Yamaha Ticketmaster awardee and have played from small private venues to large stages such as the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, Hermosa Community Theater, Santa Barbara Jazz Festival, Manhattan Beach Fireworks Festival, Americana Fireworks Festival, Los Angeles Marathon and more. Employers include private parties, hotels, community centers, cities and government agencies. I am also a Musical Director for numerous stage musicals, a church music director and a Music teacher for Grades 1-8 which has provided a curriculum basis for Private Lessons. I teach private Vocal lessons, using time tested methodology that is appropriate for beginners to seasoned singers. I also teach guitar and ukulele and have been popular for putting together "garage bands" for all ages to Adult. Finally, I am a songwriter who can assist you or your company with special musical dedications, infomercials or theme songs. Music has been my full time occupation for many years and the magic of music is found in each client or service I provide. I enjoy seeing the fun and fellowship that results from my performances as well as the special life's memories that can be made with music. I love the "big" moments when my students realize that they have accomplished so much and they are really playing music.
