I’m a vocalist, singer/songwriter, and producer with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree in Musical Theatre, and am currently coaching 20+ students of all ages and backgrounds in voice, piano, and songwriting. My experience, training, and creative approach help make the learning experience easy, stress free and fun. I always gear lessons towards each student’s unique strengths, goals, and interests. Some get excited about writing their own song; others love classical pieces. While I ways give a holistic training, including new kinds of repertoire, ear training, theory or technique (depending on the subject), and creative exploration, we will also hone in on the things about music that make you (or your child) come alive.
A bit more about me: while obtaining my Bachelor’s degree, I took regular voice lessons from one of the leading vocal pedagogy experts in the world: Mary Saunders Barton. I also studied various aspects of music and performance, such as the art of auditioning, and music theory. I spent 5 years performing in professional, regional musical theater productions, and am happy to work on auditions with my students. Currently, I play gigs regularly in my local area (Philadelphia) and regularly record, produce, and release original music. My songs have been featured on local radio (WXPN, ALT 104.5) and licensed to TV for potential use in their broadcasting (E!, MTV, PBS, Netflix, and more).
