I enjoy singing and teaching musical theater, jazz, pop, and rock music. Talk to me about learning perfect pitch. --------------------------------------------------------------- I have previously taught at various acting summer camps for ages seven to seventeen, and look forward to helping you and/or your child expand your vocal and musical knowledge. --------------------------------------------------------------- I prefer to teach over Zoom or Google Meets, and my schedule is open from 2AM EST to 1PM EST. I am also willing to explore other meeting times on a case by case basis. ---------------------------------------------------------------
