Success in learning frequently depends on finding the right voice teacher; someone who knows the subject well and understands how to inspire others. My teaching style focuses on skills training, but also emphasizes self-exploration.
Private lessons offered in person and online
I have 35 years of experience teaching voice to all levels of singers and all voice types. While I specialize in classical voice, I also teach singers interested in learning how to speak and sing with more ease and beauty. I know classical repertoire best but I have many students who sing folk, pop, musical theater, sacred and choral styles. I have taught English, French, Italian and German diction at the undergraduate and graduate level, so I am particularly skilled at incorporating high level attention to lyric diction as a part of vocal technique. My other specialty is vocal pedagogy. I have experience teaching vocal pedagogy as part of undergraduate and graduate university level courses and use those skills to teach individuals how their voice works based on voice science. I offer lessons in my home on NE Capitol Hill in Washington DC. I also offer lessons online. Many of my students do a combination of online and in person lessons, as well as I have many students from different countries and time zones. Please contact me to set up a trial lesson or just have a conversation to see if we might be a good fit for each other.
