Let's Sing!

My Approach

I'm so glad you're interested in voice lessons. Singing has been my passion for as long as I can remember. ​

My approach is to shape a strong performer by encouraging thorough analysis of text and character as it relates to specific repertoire, and exploring how acting is tied indelibly with tone and phrasing. Answer me, 'so what'? What are you communicating? Realizing that the intention is forever and inexorably enmeshed with the intensity and vice versa is an important part of that communication. What does the text give you in addition to existing notes and rhythms? How is the intensity of this text aided by dynamics, color, tone, balance, etc? I will challenge my students to consider the Why in addition to the How, instead of the How Impressive.

Setting Up Lessons

Get in touch using the contact page so we can review my current rates and set up a lesson time that works. Lessons are one hour long. I will confirm via e-mail, and send you any pertinent information you'll need to find the studio, parking, etc. I will also send you a student information form and contract for you to fill in, sign, and bring to your first lesson. ​

Our Work Together

We will laugh a lot and make a whole mess of sounds. Together we will discover and define - for you specifically - the language and physicality of your unique instrument. We will find your voice, the one that you already own, and we will nurture it and allow it to flourish. I will help you develop a strategy and give you tools and techniques to maintain and grow your instrument. I’ll ask you to practice and explore on your own as well.
