Music in all its forms is a gift. Learning to sing can increase self-confidence and be a valuable outlet for expression. I believe that singing can be the most exhilarating musical experience because YOU are the instrument.
With some training and practice ANYONE can learn to sing. The same physical mechanism that is used in speech can be used to create beautiful singing. It is only a matter of harnessing the ability already within you!
Developing a healthy singing technique is an essential component for releasing the power that is in your voice. For almost the last decade, I have been studying and teaching the "mix" technique which trains the vocal mechanism to help you access your entire vocal range with power and consistency. You can learn to combine or "mix" the ease and power of chest voice with the range and beauty of head voice to give you a beautiful sound throughout your entire vocal range that can be adapted to any musical genre, such as Musical Theater, Classical, Pop, R&B, or Jazz. I am excited to share my knowledge with people like you!
Professional Organizations: Certified Mix teacher through International Voice Teachers of Mix (IVTOM) and member of National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS). Completing certification as a "Peak Performer" coach with performance psychologist Jon Skidmore.
