FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer personalized voice lessons for students of all ages and experience levels! Pricing varies based on lesson length, with 30-minute and 60-minute sessions available to accommodate different goals, schedules, and budgets. I believe consistency is key to vocal growth and am happy to discuss ongoing weekly lessons for students looking to build their skills over time. Feel free to reach out with any questions about pricing or scheduling. I'd love to find an option that works for you!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to start by getting to know each student (or their parent!) and learning a little about their musical background, interests, and goals. Whether you're brand new to singing or have years of experience, I want to understand what you're hoping to accomplish so we can make the most of our time together! During our first lesson, we'll explore your voice through gentle warm-ups, breathing exercises, and some singing. This gives me an opportunity to get a sense of your vocal strengths and areas for growth while making sure you feel comfortable and supported. From there, we'll create a personalized approach that incorporates healthy vocal technique, repertoire you enjoy, and goals that keep you motivated. Above all, I want lessons to feel collaborative, encouraging, and fun. Singing is personal, and I believe building confidence is just as important as building technique!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold both a Bachelor of Music and Master of Music in Voice Performance from the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance, where I received extensive training in vocal technique, pedagogy, diction, music theory, and performance. As a professional mezzo-soprano, I've performed with opera companies across the country. My professional experience includes mainstage productions, educational outreach performances, and extensive audition and performance preparation. I'm also a **200-hour certified yoga teacher**, which brings an additional dimension to my approach to vocal training. My background in yoga informs my understanding of breath awareness, body alignment, physical freedom, and the mind-body connection—all essential elements of healthy, expressive singing. I continue to study and develop my own vocal technique as an active performer, bringing both my formal education and real-world performance experience into my teaching. My teaching emphasizes healthy vocal technique, breath support, musical expression, and building confidence in singers of all ages and experience levels.
