My goal as a vocal instructor is to help each person realize their individual vocal potential so that they may pursue the type of singing they desire. Rather than teaching a technique, I teach about the functionality of the voice. We strengthen and condition the voice in its entirety. When you experience this, you will also experience a freedom in your voice which will allow you to use it to truly express and communicate. Singers at all levels benefit from this approach.
My goal as a vocal instructor is to work with the whole person and not just the voice. Singing is a psycho-physical act. We work together to help you develop an awareness of how your mind and body function while singing.
My goal as a vocal instructor is to help you be an effective, in the moment performer. Not at all separate from the fact that the act of singing is a psycho-physical one, but with this we further explore and enhance the skills of peak-level performing.
Who benefits from my teaching?
~beginners: children, teens, and adults finding their voice for the first time
~high school students: preparing NYSSMA solos, auditioning for the school musical, preparing for college auditions
for both musical theatre and classical vocal programs
~pre-professional: getting ready for "the next step" in a singing career, preparing for concerts, auditions and competitions
~professionals: those whose voices aren't functioning with the same ease and comfort as it once did, those wanting
to get back in shape, those wanting check-ups between performances
~those preparing for auditions for school and community theatre productions
~those dealing with vocal health issues: pre-nodule thickening, nodules, polyps, and cysts
~choral singers
~singers of contemporary, popular music
"If you cannot teach me to fly,
teach me to Sing."
