I have over 15 years of experience as a professional singer and voice teacher. I'm classically trained, and teach everything from opera, to R&B, to musical theater and pop! I have my Masters Degree in Vocal Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. My students have been admitted to prestigious college vocal programs and have also been cast in leading roles on Bay Area stages. Besides teaching online, I'm also a music professor and professional singer! I really enjoy teaching people to sing and I like to make the process fun for my students! My performance experience allows me to teach a wide range of repertoire, while giving students a background in classical technique. Your interests and goals are important to me. Send me a message today so we can start singing!
