| I offer a supportive personal and nurturing approach to the art of performing. My vocal technique stems from vocal therapy training and the purity of tonal resonance I studied 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. My keyboard training is in both traditional, classical as well as contemporary styles- skill development in piano lessons is inclusive of music theory, fingering, scales, piano technique, sight reading, all basic rudiments of music as well as exploration of ear training and improvisation. I facilitate instruction in order for my students to sing and play freely and beautifully with improved technique and/or vocal resonance, expand their knowledge, range and dynamics, strengthen and integrate the vocal registers, two hand technique, sight reading and composition skills and above all, overall development of confidence. . 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 performance 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 yourself as we move along. Reasonable lesson fees are charged and those fees are to be paid in advance of the first scheduled session. Both 30 and 60 minute lessons offered, every week or twice per month. Due to the virtual format, lessons can be scheduled to fit your lifestyle- Skype or Zoom platforms used.
