Tutoring Approach

I believe the studio should be a safe space for the student to discover their voice and to try new things. In the singing studio I believe practice makes progress and will always be open, honest, and encouraging with my students. I believe above all in fostering a healthy and reliable vocal technique so that the student can rely on their voice and feel confident!
