"My teaching philosophy is holistic. As singers, vocal health is key, but we are also artists and athletes and are therefore tasked with guarding our physical health and mental health. The voice lesson is a space to learn about how to take care of yourself and to chase your curiosity. We will experiment, have fun, make discoveries, and more! I will meet you where you are, and you and I will both grow from there. |
