MUST READ MUSIC, on some level, to be considered for VOICE LESSONS.
We do teach piano lessons covering reading music and other music theory fundamentals which teaches those new to music how to navigate these skills.
I'm offering Virtual Voice Lessons for those in my vocal studio who would like them, as well as, potential new students. Our venue opens: June 10th, 2021.
We are having a The Gardens on Wednesday evenings '21 Outdoor Amphitheatre performance, June 30th@7pm at The Gardens on Spring Creek in Fort Collins organized with SongwoodsStudio, Aimee Woods, Director. Observing Covid-19 procedures with seating 3 ft. apart social distancing.

I love my students and want what's best for them!
My teaching philosophy consists of an individual approach with each student. Each singer has different vocal problems and those needs are directly addressed. This studio gives private instruction for singing with, above all else, the principles of a healthy voice and sound.
Private Voice Lessons or Private Singing Lessons are on a one-on-one basis within an hour or half-hour lesson; with half vocal technique instruction and half repertoire selection. Coaching with piano accompaniment is available at no additional cost and woven into the lesson. We use Appcompanist and VirtuallyVocal for repertoire accompaniment.
We are now offering Adult Piano lessons as of the 2021 - 2022 season. Our studio has a growing number of adults currently studying piano at our Fort Collins location. Please check the website dropdown menu to see more information and prices~
I love working directly with my clients to help them achieve their goals. People are like flavors of ice cream, each one is unique.
My background includes both national and international performing credits as well as teaching experience. In addition to technical vocal instruction, I offer vocal repertoire coaching and audition tips to singers. Many of my current students are reaching their professional goals by showing up prepared for their auditions.
