FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fees: 30 minute lesson, $30.00, one hour lesson, $60.00
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
An essential requirement for using the voice with ease and freedom is proper breath support. I explain this process to the student, and work with each new student until he/she fully comprehends how to breathe in a manner that relaxes and energizes the body. When a singer is performing the audience should not hear the singer's inhalation. An exception might occur in opera or musical theater when one might make an audible gasp for dramatic affect. Excellent posture is something I stress. The spine should always be straight and fully exrtended.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelor of Arts in Voice, Capital University, Professional Diploma in Voice and Opera, The Juilliard School, Master of Arts Degree, Columbia University. I also had a concert career: More than 300 solo concerts in 47 contiguous state and four Canadian Provinces under the auspices of Columbia Artists Management, INC, NYC. A performance on the Today Show. I taught private voice lessons at Ithaca College for more than thirty years at Ithaca College.
