What style of singing do you teach?

I teach all genres of music from pop and r&b to musical theatre and classical, but the majority of my students / clients sing contemporary music.

How do I know if I can really sing?

I think that all people have a musical side to them, but everyone starts at a different level and that is OK! Having a good ear and good rhythm are some great foundational pieces to your unique singing voice. Connect with a good teacher that can help you find your range, help with good technique and ear training and build a strong foundation.

For a complete beginner all the way to a professional that wants to brush up on their skills and technique – there’s something for everyone inside The Basics. 

If I am already singing, why do I need The Basics?

The Basics starts at the beginning, laying the work for a very solid understanding of technique, proper breathing, and so much more! We are always learning and taking lessons when we work on our craft, and The Basics course will help remind you of concepts you’ve forgotten, help you create a practice routine and try something new!
