I find it absolutely incredible that every individual has a one of a kind voice, as unique as a fingerprint.
Voice Alchemy
I have found over my years of singing and teaching that there is a formula that has been proven time and time again to help my students discover their most vibrant, authentic sound. Using my knowledge and experience of classical pedagogy, my years practicing yoga, and my intuition, I provide a method of teaching called “Voice Alchemy.”
The method leads to:
Extension and Flexibility of the vocal range.
Getting in touch with breath support, allowing the singer to sustain longer phrases and create more volume.
Finding the resonance and air flow necessary to allow vibrato to be expressed in the most natural and healthy way.
Richening of the tone, color, and musical expression of the voice.
Deep healing and balance of the chakras through sound.

Children Under 12
It’s never too early to gently awaken a child to the magic of music and the wellspring of their voice, breath, and body. For young children, I use imagery of nature and the earth elements to allow the child to get to know their voice and become familiar with the foundation of singing. Singing and connecting with their voice allows children to become more confident in themselves, and gives them an opportunity to discover new dimensions of themselves. I often have children sing folk songs and musical theater while I will teach them basic music theory and musicianship skills, so they may further understand music. I often do group lessons for children as well which is a great opportunity for harmonizing in rounds, canons, and multi part songs.
