: My background and approach center on two key areas:Vocal Science: As a certified Voice Teacher, Vocal Coach, Vocal Pedagogue, and Vocal Performance Strategist, trained by a world-renowned studio, I base my training on vocal anatomy and your unique biology rather than a generic, "one-size-fits-all" model.Performance Psychology: As a certified Singer’s Empowerment Coach with 10+ years as a recording artist, I provide practical tools to overcome fear, anxiety, and self-doubt so you can sing with sustainable, fearless confidence.Formal credentials and certifications are available upon request.

Think of voice lessons as your singing gym! We don't just sing songs; we use focused, often "funny-sounding" vocal exercises that are specifically tailored to your unique voice (like singing on "Mum") to train and coordinate the little muscles in your voice box to work together. It’s like doing a specific drill in sports to build "muscle memory." These exercises create a reliable coordination so that when you switch to singing your favorite song's actual lyrics, your voice automatically knows how to hit the notes cleanly and strongly, without you consciously thinking about it! We're building the foundation so you can sing effortlessly and sound amazing!

Imagine you have an upcoming performance and decide to seek out a Vocal Coach. Typically, a Vocal Coach is an experienced performer who shares their knowledge by telling you “what” to do, such as adding a riff, incorporating vibrato, or belting a note in a particular song. But what if you don't know how to execute those techniques? This is where a Voice Teacher comes in. You’ll need to focus on the mechanics of your voice. A Voice Teacher instructs you on the “how” of singing. If you’re unsure how to do a specific technique—like riffing, singing with vibrato, or belting—they will use their expertise in vocal pedagogy to help you develop those skills. While a Vocal Coach often relies on their stage experience and does not necessarily need formal training in vocal pedagogy, a Voice Teacher MUST be trained in this field to help you build your vocal instrument safely and effectively. In my studio, I offer both services. I am a Vocal Coach with years of experience as a professional recording artist and a certified Voice Teacher with formal studies in vocal pedagogy.

For your first lesson, we will start off by discussing any prior vocal training you may have had, your vocal goals, and any additional questions. From there, we will work on a vocal warm up and exercises. Last, we'll cover material song work which will be a song of your choice. Each voice is unique, so each lesson is personalized to meet your individual goals as a singer. Please have a song ready that you would like to start working on.

Online lessons are just as effective as in person lessons and work the same with the exception of the meeting place. We will meet via Zoom. You will want to make sure that you have a reliable internet connection and that the original sound is enabled so that I will be able to hear those beautiful high notes. (For steps to turn on original sound click here ).

I highly recommend you bring a recording device, such as your phone with a voice recorder, to record your lessons. When using Zoom, I will grant you access to record the session from your device. This is a great way for you to review and continue practicing what we've worked on. You may also want to have water to stay hydrated. Don't forget to have your selected song ready so that we can work on repertoire.

Everyone has a different progress rate. It all depends on your goals, your work ethic, the amount of time you practice in between lessons, and your dedication during lessons. The rate of your progression primarily depends on you. Every lesson provides an opportunity to learn new things to continue in your vocal progression. You are welcome to take as many lessons as you are comfortable with based on availability, but you are not required to take any number of lessons while you study here.

I work with students ages 8 and older. Please understand that when working with children, their voices do change as they get closer to puberty, and this can happen as early as the age 10 and last up until the age 16. No worries here though. If a student should study with me from a young child into puberty, I will simply adjust their exercises based on their vocal needs at every stage.

I am trained how to teach students to apply good technique to all styles and genres without damaging the voice, but for the sake of giving you specifics of what genres I've worked with the most, they will be: gospel, jazz, R&B, pop, and musical theatre.
