Introduction: - "The best AC/DC band I've ever heard? There was an all-girl band in America, Hell's Belles" - Angus Young (Blender Magazine)
As the lead vocalist of all female AC/DC Tribute band "Hell's Belles", I have over 20 years of professional performance experience touring the globe (USA, Canada, Europe, UK, Asia and Australia/New Zealand) with not only Hell's Belles, but as lead guitarist/vocalist of Australia rock duo "BugGiRL" and lead vocalist of Judas Priest Tribute Band "Belles Bent For Leather".
I am a performance coach, guitar/bass teacher and can also advise on vocals, as I am predominantly a vocalist.
My strengths as a teacher lie in my 25 years of practical experience on the road as a professional musician. I have in studied with some amazing vocal coaches in this country who specialize in powerful, contemporary "belt" styles and Rock and Metal screams and vocal styles. I can advise on performance technique and style, but also on performance athleticism and well-being. Aside from increasing range, power and endurance, I am committed to helping students discover and unlock their true creative and individual potential.
For Guitar/Bass, I have studied with Michael Jackson's lead guitarist Jennifer Batten (Dirty Diana clip) and Hell's Belles lead guitarist Adrian "Angus" Conner. I can provide lessons for beginners through to intermediate. I have a preference for blues, rock and metal. I teach with tablature and love scales, lead licks, improvisation and riffs, riffs, riffs!!! Groovy, heavy riffs!
I am currently establishing a rock academy with the amazingly talented musician and teacher Whitney Rehr of Denver's own Sparkle Jetts, I'm A Boy and Gata Negra.
I am committed to the success of my students and I love being a part of an individual's creative development. No matter what level of experience or age, seeing my students thrive each week, is what keeps me inspired. Sharing what I have gathered over the years helps me become a more inspired musician and performer myself.
