Singing Lessons

All singing lessons and classes are taught in a supportive, creative and playful environment. My approach to vocal training and the art of singing is based on physical and cognitive awareness as well as a strong foundation of musical and vocal technique. My goal is to guide you toward achieving your goals, to find joy and creative expression and to integrate healthy singing techniques that free your true singing voice.

• Develop tone, pitch, breath control, intonation, emphasis, volume, posture, relaxation and general voice quality.
  
  
• Gain awareness of the physical tensions and habits that are hindering your style and develop your physical, emotional and technical capacity to sing freely.
  
  
• Enhance your enjoyment and confidence of singing and unleash your spirit!
  

The typical singing lesson includes warm-up and preparation exercises and includes focused "observe and describe" awareness and technical games mixed with singing from song selections of your choice. Time spent in each portion will depend on what aspect of vocal performance is being worked on and on the amount of work you put in outside of, and prior to, the lessons. Lessons are interactive and can also include the practical coaching and working through of songs, exercises and performance skills required to get you to your next level.

Each voice lesson is individually tailored to your musical development, singing style, and current singing awareness and needs. The typical objectives are to uncover, release and develop your unique voice and to develop awareness skills, singing techniques and performance skills that you can take away with you and apply to a lifetime of healthy, productive and enjoyable singing.

My Florida voice studio is within easy commute distance of Maitland, Altamonte Springs, Sanford, Wekiva Springs, Lake Mary, Winter Springs, and Mt. Dora. Students have also traveled from Winter Garden, Kissimmee, Deltona, Pine Hills, Titusville, Leesburg, Celebration, De Land, Orange City, Daytona Beach, Port Orange, Melbourne, Ocala, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Clearwater, Gainesville, South Apopka and Lake Helen.

Students have also come from outlying areas on I-4 such as Lakeland, Winter Haven, Clearwater.

I have taught singing for over 6 years and during that time have guided many people to sing better, sing healthier and to reach toward their singing goals. Most of my work, and student progress, is in private instruction, I also occasionally instruct group classes or specific workshops.

Selecting a private instructor and choosing to pursue private voice lessons are an important investment in your continuing vocal development. It is important to evaluate any singing teacher to see if they are a match for your personality, the stage you are at, and that they can help you progress towards achieving your goals.

If you're looking for a new voice teacher, a vocal coach or are new to singing and would like to learn to sing, I am currently accepting students and I invite you to try out my voice studio by signing up for an introductory lesson.

If I'm unable to refer you to another singing teacher, here are some music teacher search sites that might help you narrow your search: Music Staff, Private Lessons, Classical Singer and The Music Teachers List. Additionally, another way to find a voice teacher is to ask for a recommendation from someone whose singing you like. NATS (the National Association of Teachers of Singing) also has a telephone teacher locator service which can give you a list of registered voice teachers near you.
