Teacher

These are the sorts of singers I can help:

1. Singers with big voices!

Have you spent your time in the studio with someone who constantly tries to make your voice small, or perceives your full voice as “not pretty”?

2. Singers going through a Fachwechsel.

Has your voice grown, but you don’t quite know how to negotiate those changes? Do you need help navigating the unstable landscape of a voice in flux?

3. Have you had vocal trauma?

Have you recently been diagnosed with soft or hard nodules (nodes), and want to continue singing, but are not sure how to begin your recovery? Or have you had other sorts of trauma that have effected your voice?

I was always drawn to the underdog. If you are someone who has been passed over, someone who knows they have great potential but haven’t yet had great success, I am the teacher for you.

If you are already having a career, want to advance to bigger houses or more challenging repertoire, but know that you have some technique that needs to be fine-tuned, I am the teacher for you.

If you are you tired of the negative music industry, and want to have a place where you can be supported and encouraged, I am the teacher for you.

I am a teacher because I love helping singers improve, NOT because I hope to gain notoriety through my students. This means my ego is not a part of your lessons.
