A Word on Technique

Because it is very difficult to see the workings of the voice, I subscribe to a “sensation” approach with beginners. I place a lot of emphasis is placed on being relaxed, maintaining, proper postire to achieve maximum potential for your instrument. I incorporate a lot of movement and poses in warmups and as a way to overcome vocal obstacles. Your body is your voice, and with lessons I will help you align your posture and seat your breath, both great skills to carry with you outside the vocal studio! Once the breath is settled and your skeletal structure is aligned, you will notice more clarity and spin in your vocal tone and production.
