About
Whether you are a complete beginner to more advanced I will cater my lesson program to your personal musical needs! My student base varies widely from touring musicians to novice and recreational singers and musicians. I have worked extensively under top vocal coach Mark Baxter and in 2022 became a member of IVTOM (International Voice Teachers of Mix). After nearly 20 years of instruction, I have found that laying a solid foundation of proper technique is the key to long term vocal health and ability!
I began teaching private lessons after graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA in 2004. I’ve been teaching online lessons via Skype since 2012 and absolutely love teaching people from all over the country. My goal is to help you achieve your musical goals through your preferred style of music. Contact me today for lessons on voice, piano, and/or guitar! I look forward to hearing from you.
You can easily book and schedule classes directly from my website linked here on Thumbtack. I look forward to working with you!
