Voice study allows the singer to take technical and artistic areas of learning and translate them to emotional expression. I believe that learning to sing can be a journey where diligent work and joy are partners. The voice studio is a safe and constructive environment where the student can be free to try new ways of thinking and to experiment with new sounds. Singing unites body, mind, and spirit. It can carry us to a place unreachable by any other path. * The Young Voice Voice study typically begins no earlier than age 15. Even at this age, the vocal mechanism is still developing. Great care must be taken to nurture its growth and to introduce sound technical concepts as appropriate to the individual. Ask me about an assessment for a younger singer. Also, I can recommend some good options for development of a younger singer prior to voice lessons. * The Adult Voice There is no maximum age for voice study! All voices can enjoy great refreshment by way of a technique tuneup. It is wonderful to know that the singing voice grows richer with age. Clear technical understanding and a more fine-tuned coordination help the adult singer to enjoy the gift of expressive singing as long as there are songs to sing!

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I grew up going to voice lessons with my Mom. I sang concerts with her when I was a little girl and it just kept going from there. When I saw my first Opera as a sophomore in high school, I knew that was what I wanted to do. Although I learned about teaching as part of my college studies, I didn't really feel ready to teach until after I had been out singing for about 8 years. I love teaching and find it endlessly interesting to work with singers and see them progress.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I offer classical voice training for students of all ages and voice types.

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

I teach several workshops each year. One is Singer's Performance Week, which is an intensive 5 day workshop every July. Classes in all aspects of singing performance. I also teach a week long workshop for more advanced singers called Aria Bootcamp.

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

It is important to work with a teacher who has both extensive teaching experience and a strong performance background. This will give you the most well rounded training.

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

What are your goals as related to singing. Are you preparing for a performance or an audition? Do you need help with choosing music?
