I love to sing, and I love to teach singing! My extensive performance and directing experience in musical theater, operetta, and opera has given me a real understanding of vocal technique as well as the art of creating a character through music. I specialize in audition preparation - not only choosing the right song for each singer but also bringing that song to life. Studio recitals, held three times per year, provide a great venue to hone your craft, get performing experience in a supportive environment and try out your piece before bringing it to an audition.

As a former elementary school teacher I bring knowledge of individual learning styles into my teaching. I think learning anything should be fun. I use board games, whole body movements, and music composition (at the computer) to enhance the direct learning at the piano. I'm a firm believer in teaching a wide range of knowledge about music, not just how to play the piano.
