I enjoy the journey with each student. The opportunity to help them take risks, help them build confidence, and relish the breakthrough moments that lead them on to becoming the best they can be. I am grateful to be a part of each student’s journey.
i began teaching undergraduates and graduate students at Yale. I had the opportunity to teach students from the Dramat, the Graduate Drama School at Yale.
My undergraduate degree is from Birmingham Southern College, my Masters is in opera performance from Yale University.

I begin with a free consultation so the student May meet with me, see how I work, and if I work for them. This gives them the opportunity to gauge their comfortability.
Once the decision is made to begin lessons, the time is set weekly, and each student starts a technical process with me. Technique is the basis of being able to be a secure and confident performer.
Beginners, intermediates, and professionals. I have worked with classical singers, musical theater actors, theater actors, pastors, film actors, pop and indie music singers, gospel singers, and a couple of CEOs ‘s.
Look for someone with real experience and expertise. And make certain that there is an ability to build a real relationship with the teacher. Someone who will support you in all your endeavors, and will work hard to make certain that you are always prepared.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What is your experience? With whom have you sung or shared the stage? With whom did you train? What are your ideas about singing/acting/public speaking? How do you support your students?
