The days I get to scoop up a world-weary student, have them sing away their troubles and send them bouncing back out the door happy and pink cheeked (singing is healthy for you:). Showing my students everything they already know how to do with their voices and how to further liberate and support their instruments.
I have had the joy of singing 20 roles, from Queens to Wardrobes; 34 solo concerts across the nation, some of which championed living composers music; 32 joint concerts with organizations across the nation including an alumni concert at Manhattan School of Music; produced and directed 13 shows from Utah to New York, including La Cenerentola at the University of Utah.

Lesson Packages
Report
There is something magical about the comradery of a group lesson coupled with learning by observing! Individualized based on your project and deadline. For example, preparing for the NATS auditions in November. If you were planning on competing in one division, 45 minute lessons would work. If you wanted to compete in two divisions, 60 minute lessons would be necessary.

Guest Instructor
Report
I was a Guest Presenter at Grand Canyon University and taught about learning styles and how they can be applied in private lessons. We also had the fun of master class on Sentence Work with the Student NATS club and their amazing faculty advisor, Dr. Rachel Velarde. Many thanks to my friend and colleague Dr. Diane Thueson Reich for the yearly invite to teach future teachers about Starting a Studio!
