What to expect

My teaching philosophy is built on the belief that everyone can sing, and our work together will help you discover your unique voice. Here's a look at what you can expect to accomplish and explore in our lessons!

Build a Strong Foundation for Every Style

No matter what kind of music you love—be it classical, pop, jazz, musical theater, or anything in between—we'll focus on the universal principles of healthy and efficient vocal production.

  • Understanding Your Instrument: We'll work on allowing your body to sing naturally, releasing tension and unnecessary effort. My approach, drawing on principles similar to the Alexander Technique, focuses on uncovering your voice rather than forcing it.

  • Freedom and Versatility: By mastering these core techniques, you'll gain the freedom to explore any genre with ease and confidence.

The truth: There is no such thing as “tone-deaf”

I firmly believe there's no such thing as "tone deaf" – only undeveloped musical skills! If you're someone who doubts your singing ability, you're exactly who I love to work with. We'll embark on a journey of discovery to:

  • Develop Your Ear: Through pitch recognition and interval training, you'll learn to distinguish and accurately reproduce notes, improving your ear-to-voice coordination.

  • Harmonic Awareness: We'll explore polyphonic singing, helping you hear and confidently sing your part within a harmony.

  • Cultivate Unwavering Confidence: Building your belief in your own voice is paramount. With patience, dedication, and a supportive environment, we'll unearth your full musical potential together.

Personalized Lessons and approach

Every lesson is crafted to fit your individual goals, abilities, and musical aspirations. Whether you're just starting out or are an experienced vocalist, my aim is to help you:

  • Build Confidence: Feel more secure and expressive in your singing.

  • Refine Technique: Develop healthy and efficient vocal habits.

  • Master Language & Delivery: We'll work on clear diction and pronunciation across various languages and genres, ensuring your message is always understood and conveyed effectively.

  • Enhance Artistic Expression: Beyond just notes, we'll explore interpretation, phrasing, and emotional connection, allowing you to convey the true meaning and heart of every song.
