Studio Philosophy
Some of my students have the talent and drive to pursue performing professionally. It is my pleasure to guide them towards appropriate performance opportunities and repertoire while improving their vocal technique, enhancing their dramatic presentation, and educating them about the work ethic required of the full-time performer.
Other students may simply wish to “get to the next level” in their performing. That might mean improving one’s solos with the church choir, moving from chorus to featured roles at a community theater, or gaining the courage to audition for a part in the high school musical. I sincerely enjoy working with casual students and adult beginners, challenging them to be the best they can be while building their confidence and expanding their range of possibilities.
Whatever your goals, I will take great joy in sharing my education, experience, and encouragement with you!
