Welcome! As your voice teacher, my one and only purpose is to partner with you to help you reach your goals. I do this using tried and true techniques that are heavily influenced by Body Mapping. In addition to my knowledge of Body Mapping, I hold a master's degree in teaching. I also hold a bachelor's degree in vocal performance (classical and contemporary). I have taught private singing and speaking lessons, and I've taught in public schools (music and general ed.) for over a decade. I have been performing professionally for 23 years and I look forward to at least another 43! I say all of this so you are assured that your instruction is coming from a qualified and experienced professional.
As I stated above, my teaching is heavily influence by Body Mapping. You might be wondering... what is Body Mapping? This is a system that teaches people an accurate map of different parts of the body. It focuses on how those parts and systems move. This is essential to ease and efficiency of use. I have studied Body Mapping with a licensed Body Mapping teacher for over ten years (I am not a licensed Body Mapping teacher) and I've gained extensive knowledge and practice of this system. This has given me a depth and breadth of techniques and exercises that I use with my students in order to bring about significant growth. My students at all levels notice the improvement in their singing and speaking voice. So, whether you are a beginner, a seasoned professional, or anywhere in between, you will see improvement too.
Singing and public speaking requires that you express yourself in a way that touches the audience. In order to do this you have to become very comfortable relaying your emotions. This is why in addition to vocal technique, my teaching method also incorporates techniques and exercises that help people with emotional expression. These are all unambiguous, methodical and doable exercises which enable people to truly make progress.
Singing brings me so much joy. It’s my space to express my emotions freely and completely. It’s truly my passion. I am blessed to have this gift and I love sharing it with as many people as I can, through performing and teaching. I look forward to sharing this gift with you soon.
I am so thankful to God all my wonderful family and friends who continue to support me on this journey.
Peace and blessings to you.
