Bio

I have been teaching voice for twenty-five years. My former students can be found on opera stages across the country, on and off Broadway, in national and international tours, on TV, and in movies. They can also be found in courtrooms, hospital and surgical rooms, as university professors, public school teachers, doulas, and stay-at-home moms. I have consistently prepared students for auditions, competitions, and contests with great success. I have founded two summer programs for singers and collaborative pianists, one in Austria (which is now closed) and one here in Wisconsin, attracting and thus teaching students from all over the world. I have directed shows, judged competitions, and conducted community choirs. I began my musical studies at 10 with Violin and Viola and continued playing in orchestras all throughout college. So, though my career has been "voice heavy", my initial steps began as an orchestra player and over the years I have taught a great many of these students as well. I have just returned to WI, where I grew up, after living in Miami, Germany, and Austria for nearly 30 years.

Music Education:

I have a Bachelor of Music and Master of Music from the University of Miami (Coral Gables, FL) both in Vocal Performance.

Teaching Experience:

I have 25 years of experience teaching voice to beginner through emerging, young professional with a great many violin and viola students interspersed there as well.

Styles Taught:

Classical, Musical Theater, etc

Methods Taught:

I will meet each student where they are and decide on the best road forward. This is a very personal approach and will vary with each person.
