Introduction: I am a former professional singer, and still do occasional show here in Las Vegas. I have performed extensively, and was Liberace's protege in the early 70's. I have appeared on numerous TV shows (The Tonight Show, Merv Griffin, Dinah Shore, to name a few), and have opened showrooms around the world for many stars, including Bob Hope, George Burns, Joan Rivers, David Brenner, Don Rickles, Bob Newhart, and have worked with Jessica Simpson, Barbra Streisand, George Carlin and many more. I believe that this experience enables me to pass personal knowledge of singing and stage performance to my students. As another benefit to my students, I have a show called "Rising Stars" that regularly performs to an audience so that my students gain valuable experience singing in front of people.
It's exciting to see my students grow and succeed, as I have had students on "America's Got Talent," American Idol," and "The Voice." It's also satisfying to watch them successfully audition for parts in plays/musicals, and perform in other live venues. I've worked with young children (5 years old) and mature adults (50's), and all ages in between.
