FAQ’s:

Do I have to study classical type voice or can you help me with my
personal style?
The teaching tradition that I come from will help you understand an
authentic, natural way to produce sound. My goal is to get to your very
unique voice and then help you use it in the way you most desire!

Do I have to take lessons every week?
While I don’t think lessons every week are necessary to grow, regular
lessons are!  Of course, the more attention you put on your voice and
practice what you’ve learned in lessons the faster you will progress!  

Do I have to know how to play piano to succeed in voice lessons?
No, but learning music is harder without some piano knowledge.  I will
work with you on these basics too, so you grow not just as a singer but as a
musician!
