I strive to create an environment in which my students feel safe to explore their creativity and express themselves fully. Using appropriate materials and adjusting my teaching style accordingly, I work with students of diverse ages, genders and backgrounds to aid them in developing their full vocal potential and reach their self-defined goals. I provide ample opportunity for my students to publicly perform and showcase their progress. Annual formal recitals, as well as performance and audition training, are a regular part of the curriculum. My students have sung off Broadway, the National Anthem at Jazz games, and other professional sporting events. My students have won competitions and contests for their singing, and starred in local musicals.
