- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I trained in Voice Performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music where I studied with the internationally celebrated Mezzo-Soprano, Marie Simmelink-Kraft who performed with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra and other symphony Orchestras throughout the world. I also hold a degree from Case Western Reserve University where I studied art and music theory and was in many theatre productions. My professional experience includes singing with a professional Chorale that performed with the Cleveland Symphony and performances as a soloist with choirs in Ohio and Michigan. In 1978 I founded and directed the Academie des Beaux-Arts, a performing arts school and the Actors Alliance Theater, a professional theater company that gave young performers a chance to work with professional actors. This combination of skills in voice performance and theater sets me apart as a teacher with professional theater experience who can help students develop their voice and the ability to perform with a natural artistry that captures an audience.
