Introduction

Located in Austin, Texas, I teach in person in my Austin studio and remotely on the Internet or by phone. The technique that I use is proven successful. From classical to pop, the technique works. Most successful artists use this technique. I encourage all to research Speech Level Singing and those artists that use it. Also, for those that want the training, I was a high school choral teacher for many years. I have many years of experience teaching music reading as well as ear training. Helping those succeed! Successful singing is dependent on successfully understanding the voice and how it works. Watching those people learn and successfully engage their voice from the very lowest note to the very highest is very rewarding.

Q&A

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

My standard fee is $40 per half hour.

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

I typically assess the voice, check for tendencies that inhibit good singing, create exercises that help the student get rid of the bad tendencies, and apply what the student learned to a song of their choice.

I still take lessons, attend Master Classes, attend conferences. BA in performance from The University of Wisconsin with certification MME from Indiana University
