My lessons are always divided into two sections; during the first, we work on the voice and vocal techniques through a warm-up and targeted exercises. During the second part, we work on repertoire chosen by the student in order to apply the techniques learned. My goal is to help adolescents (12 and up) and adults of all levels connect with their voice and discover their potential through music and various techniques to develop a sound and healthy voice. The voice is our primary tool for communication and self-expression, and through it, I aspire to guide my students through a process of exploration and awakening to achieve personal harmony. In a supportive atmosphere, we will work toward this goal by releasing the singing and speaking voice and improving your confidence. *For in-person lessons, please note that I have two cats*
