As a seasoned music tutor, holding a B.F.A. degree and with over two years of experience, I am passionate about imparting knowledge and fostering a love for music in my students. Specializing in a variety of singing genres including classical, pop, jazz, rock, blues, folk, and country, I offer a comprehensive approach to vocal training tailored to students of all levels. My teaching philosophy is centered around creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can explore and develop their singing abilities. With expertise in areas such as ear training, harmony, improvisation, music theory, and vocal techniques, I aim to provide a well-rounded musical education that goes beyond just singing. I understand that each student has a unique learning style and pace, which is why I personalize lessons to cater to individual needs and goals. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced singer, my goal is to help you unlock your full vocal potential and build confidence in your abilities. Join me on a musical journey where we will not only enhance your singing skills but also delve into music history, performance techniques, and music production. Let's harmonize, hit the right notes, and create beautiful music together!

I personally have found singing to be really intimidating but Golding has explained tone blending, vocal dynamics in such a way that it all became really easy to understand.
