Teaching
With nearly 15 years of experience, I have an extensive background in music education, working with a variety of student populations of all ages. I have served as a private instructor, music director, teaching artist, and adjunct professor with many prestigious organizations, including Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit, the Metropolitan Opera Guild, and the College of Performing Arts at The New School. I also have experience working with disabled and neurodivergent students and students with additional support needs. I maintain a private voice studio for beginner to professional artists, creatives, and voice users.

Masterclasses & Workshops
I offer fun, engaging masterclasses and workshops for vocalists and songwriters that can be brought right into your school. Whether it’s a one-time session or a series, I work with students of all ages and skill levels—everything’s scaffolded to meet them where they are. From vocal techniques and songwriting basics to performance tips and creative expression, I tailor each session to be age-appropriate, interactive, and inspiring. Perfect for music programs looking to give their students a fresh, real-world experience in music-making!

-
Recommended Lesson Frequency - The key to learning any new skill is consistency. If you’re trying to learn an instrument without any previous training or are serious about growing as a musician, I recommend weekly lessons. Some students elect for lessons every other week, which works best for 60-minute lessons. Other students elect to have lessons on an à la carte basis. The frequency of lessons really depends on your goals as a musician; I am happy to meet you wherever you are in your musical journey.
