Welcome!
Welcome to my website. I am a voice teacher and former professional opera and concert singer. I recently returned to Farmington, Michigan to reopen my private voice studio following 12 years of teaching at Florida Gulf Coast University in Florida. With over 30 years of experience both in private studio and collegiate level vocal instruction, I work with male and female singers at all levels from beginners through serious young singers and adults. I specialize in students who wish to pursue music education or classical singing as a vocation. Many of my former high school students have gone on to prestigious university programs in classical music or musical theatre. In addition, many of my former high school and university students are now pursuing professional careers as performers and educators. I teach all classical and musical theater styles as well as standards and anything that takes a “trained voice” to sound better. Please explore the site, and if you’d like to learn more, feel free to contact me.
