About Me:
Music is about expression. I see music, particularly vocal music, as a kind of universal language which brings everyone together. Individually, we all express these emotions in our own unique way. Using the bel-canto technique and utilizing a students own sense of creativity, it brings me great joy to work with a student and watch him/her grow not only as a singer, but as an artist. We each have within us a tremendous capacity to feel, to emote, and to use our diverse backgrounds and life experiences through song.
