Introduction

I have been traveling and teaching abroad this last year but am now back in Miami teaching in my studio in Miami but not remotely so please live in the Miami area.. I enjoy working with singers of all ages and levels including beginners but my predominant interest is in the classical method of singing and my love of classical music and music theater which formed the basis of my own performing and teaching career and in working with singers who share that interest. Before coming to Miami, I successfully taught voice, repertoire and coached privately on the faculties of the Universidad Nacional in Bogota and the Escuela Nacional de Arte Lirica in Montevideo and privately in New York City. In teaching, I draw on my years as a professional singer in concert, opera and music theater in finding a free, easy and natural way of singing, of building technique, working on interpretation, etc. I love to teach and feel very happy in sharing my ideas and all that I've learned through the years.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We always have a short visit and talk first. Singing is such a personal thing that I feel it's very important to get to know each student's voice thoroughly, his or her musical needs and ambitions and where I can be of the most positive help in freeing and improving each voice, solving individual vocal problems and, above all, building confidence; one beautiful tone leads to many, many more. Singing should be a wonderfully liberating experience.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

My years of performing and work with some great teachers and coaches in New York, Europe and in South America; also, my years of teaching students of all ages and levels is in itself a great learning experience. BA in English, Temple University MA in English, George Washington University Master of Music, Catholic University Graduate study at Manhattan School of Music

How did you get started doing this type of work?

After many years of singing professional musical theater, concerts and opera, I began teaching voice always wanting to share as much as possible of what I’ve learned through the years. Always learning.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Singers of all ages and levels.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Finding your voice and feeling it flowing and responding is a great experience. My goal is always to help develop confidence, work on vocal technique and encourage each student’s natural and best singing and make it fun in the process.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Very important to find a teacher that you feel very comfortable with and that you sense is right for you; the teacher should be experienced, supportive and have a very good ear. Learning to sing should be fun and fulfilling.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

If really wanting to sing and improving your voice is something you’ve always wanted to experience, I would enjoy talking with you.
