ABOUT
With over 28 years of singing experience and 25 years of vocal training, I offer a rich and nuanced approach to vocal instruction. Holding a Music degree from Keene State College (NASM accredited program i.e. National Association of Schools of Music) with a specialization in early music performance and musicology, my expertise spans an array of styles, from Gregorian chant, renissance, Baroque, Classical, lyrical and expressive Romantic Period, Broadway, Vintage Jazz, and popular music.
Performance highlights include a featured solo of the Star‑Spangled Banner at a military retirement ceremony at the Pentagon; at Stafford Springs for the Monster Truck event, performing for an audience of 10,000; at the Ron Johnson election celebration in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 2023; and at the American Heritage Museum over multiple years. Classical performances include Bach and Burgers at Becket’s in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Songs of the American Revolution at the Wayside Inn in Sudbury, MA for the 250th celebration in 2025, including opera selections; and Victorian songs for a Mark Twain event at the Grand Opera House in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 2022.
Beyond formal studies, my background in music therapy, sound healing, life coaching, and Reiki allows me to integrate both technical precision and holistic artistry into my teaching. I provide vocal coaching, performances, healing sessions, and workshops—visit the Services page to learn more.
With a voice that transcends time, I bring depth, authenticity, and emotion to every performance. My repertoire embraces the elegance of Baroque, Classical, and Romantic-era compositions, the drama of opera, and the evocative melodies of Irish folk songs, sea shanties, and patriotic anthems. Equally at home with vintage jazz, Broadway classics, and contemporary ballads, I strive to breathe new life into every piece. Whether delivering a sweeping aria or an intimate folk tune, I blend technical mastery with heartfelt storytelling to create a truly immersive musical experience.
I believe every voice possesses a singular beauty, and my teaching philosophy is rooted in guiding each singer toward confidence, artistry, and self-expression. My approach is tailored to the individual, allowing students to select their own repertoire and pursue personal goals, whether refining technique, preparing for performance, or singing for personal fulfillment. With an emphasis on vocal health, resilience, and musicianship, my lessons foster a space of encouragement and growth. Whether exploring classical traditions, Broadway, jazz, or contemporary music, my aim is to cultivate not only skill but a lifelong love for the art of singing.
