About Me:
I believe that anyone at any age can be taught to sing. Perhaps not every person is cut out to be a rock singer or a Broadway star, but everybody has some kind of musical gift inside them and can be taught to control their voice. I would love to be even a little bit responsible for someone realizing their dream and learning to conquer a style of singing that they have always loved. My voice lessons will certainly not only be about the voice itself, but rather the art of a well rounded performance. I will teach the basics of sight-reading, musicality, and especially, how to actually perform a song with your face and body while singing.
