Introduction: I am an EXPERIENCED professional performer, and I teach from that perspective as well as from the perspective of an experienced teacher. I have performed all over the world - different genres of music - and I can perform under all sorts of "interesting" conditions. I have a graduate degree in BOTH performance and pedagogy (which means teaching). I have sung musical theatre as well as opera, so I can teach and understand both genres. I have played the piano professionally as an accompanist for violinists, singers, wind players and more, so my understanding of piano is also quite varied.
I also speak and understand Italian and German, which can especially help when teaching opera.
I have an ability to help make my students feel quite comfortable quickly and to help them to find THEIR UNIQUE talent. ALL of us have something unusual and special to bring to our music. :-) Let's find it!
I love the one on one relationship with people who are gifted in their own unique way. I enjoy trying to help them find their voice or talent.
