About Me:
The voice is perhaps the deepest channel by which people express how they feel. I've loved, studied, and performed many different styles of music - from Opera to Pop to Classical to North Indian Ragas, and I have a keen understanding of the technical skills that apply to all styles of singing. My students have ranged from very beginners to advanced, and I work individually with every student to create the type and style of lesson which will help and inspire them to learn, exactly where they are.
