Teaching Philosophy
My teaching is student-centered, prioritizing each singer's individual needs and goals. I aim to create a warm and respectful environment where the student feels safe to experiment, discover, question, and express. Through the use of intentional exercises and collaborative observation, we work to improve vocal function and develop a technique that is free, flexible, and expressive.
