I offer a supportive personal and nurturing approach to the art of singing, performing and acting.
when a student in England. My theatrical training stems from the Stanislavski philosophy.  I
believe in understanding the inner self, the voice, the person, proper exercise as well as healthy
singing.  I facilitate instruction in order for my students to sing freely and beautifully with
improved vocal power and resonance, expand their range and dynamics, strengthen and integrate
the vocal registers, sight singing and composition skills and above all development of confidence
by building characterization with each song.

The many years of teaching, judging, performing and directing have given me a clear
understanding of the demands and pitfalls associated with the young musician. I provide my
students with a clear understanding of their total musicianship and their vocal health and
production, integrating the mind, soul and body so that the three work together in total cooperation.

Being prepared for lessons and practice make your educational experience worthwhile.
Positive attitude= positive results. Know why you are coming and set some definitive goals for
