ABOUT 

​​

With over 26 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 with a specialization in opera and musicology, my expertise spans an array of styles, from classical and Broadway to jazz, pop, and early music traditions. Beyond my 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.
