Most singers push too much air. When you push too much air, you are in a struggle with your own instrument. It often results in tension, pain, or cracking. Students are amazed when I show them how much easier singing is when you use the proper amount of air.
-
Head voice and falsetto are not the same at all! When a singer can't get into head voice properly, they usually end up screaming or using falsetto. Falsetto is a very breathy sound that can make a singer's voice sound weak. True head voice is a MUCH stronger. In vocal lessons singers learn how to master their head voice, giving them much more range and power.

Yes! My goal as a teacher is to help you become a master of your instrument. I want to help you become the best possible version of yourself. Ultimately, you are the artist. I just give you more colors to express yourself with.
-
I specialize in vocal technique rather than style coaching, therefore singers of all musical genres benefit. You can work on any song in any style in lessons with me. I always take the singer's personal goals into consideration.
-
Not at all! Anyone who can speak and isn’t tone deaf can sing. I work with all levels, from professionals to hobbyists. I believe anyone who loves to sing deserves to know how to use their voice.
-
Becoming a professional singer requires more than just being able to sing well. However, if a singer has potential then we can link up to the right people in the industry to help you make your dreams a reality.
-
My goal is to give you a healthy vocal technique that will last you FOREVER. The human voice can only take a certain amount of improper singing before it gives out entirely. As we age, proper singing becomes even more important. I want my students to keep their voices forever, this is possible with my technique.
-
Not only coffee but caffeine in general should be avoided before a performance. The reason for this is that caffeine causes dehydration. The vocal cords need to be hydrated in order to function properly. It is important when you are performing to have the voice in prime condition. You will also want to avoid carbonated drinks before a performance.
