I began a private studio in 2004. Since that time I have taught voice and beginning piano students in Boston, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia from all over the world and of all ages. I have coached Opera choruses, rock bands, acapella groups, rap singers and children's choirs.
I work through the principle of joyful discipline; serious focused action infused with a sense of play.
What will lessons consist of?
Voice: Adults and Children
