Develop your singing and performance technique for musical theatre or pop material.

I am a musical theatre performer and singer/musician with experience as a music director and music teacher in both private and group lessons. I have taught all skill levels and ages, from the age of 4 to adult students. I have taught students who have never sung before as well as students applying to college/university programs, and currently pursuing a career in theatre or music. I understand that singing is a personal experience and that all students require a customized lesson plan in order to best improve. I have been specializing in musical theatre, both in vocal style and in performance technique, and have been focusing on actor-musician work, both as a performer myself and researching how playing instruments impact the voice. I am a firm believer that it’s never too late (or early) to start music, and focus on a supportive approach. As an instrumentalist, I consider music theory to be an important part of music lessons, including sight-singing, understanding rhythms, scale degrees, and other expressive techniques such as backphrasing and improvisation. As a trans vocalist, I have experience with changing voices, especially afab students taking testosterone. I have also worked as a composer/lyricist, and would be happy to offer feedback on writing development.
