Experienced teacher across all styles of music

I’m a Sacramento-based voice teacher helping singers of all levels with experience teaching across all styles of singing (pop, rock, music theatre, country, opera/classical) build healthy technique and confidence in their voice.

Students come to lessons to:

• improve vocal tone and range
• prepare for auditions
• develop musical theatre or classical technique
• sing with less strain and more control

My approach blends vocal science, evidence-based pedagogy, and a warm, supportive atmosphere.

A Teaching Approach Rooted in Skill, Science, Performance and Collaboration

I believe great singing comes from a balance of vocal freedom, technical awareness, and artistic intention. My teaching draws on vocal function, physiology, and acoustics while remaining accessible, encouraging, and highly individualized.

Each lesson is tailored to your voice and goals: building healthy coordination, strengthening your technique, and supporting your artistic identity.

My studio is an inclusive space for all singers, with experience supporting clients across musical theater, classical, pop, country, R&B, and gender-affirming voice work.

  • Evidence-Based Pedagogy

    Training grounded in vocal science, functional voice work, and ongoing pedagogy study.

  • Holistic + Supportive Environment

    Professional instruction paired with clarity, warmth, and approachable guidance.

  • Versatile Musical Experience

    Coaching across genres and levels from first-time singers to working professionals.

  • I’ve spent the last 17 years teaching students of all ages from 6 years old to senior citizens. I’ve taught and helped a wide range of students from wanting to get better at karaoke to professional actors and opera singers fine-tuning their technique. Over my experience, I’ve had hundreds of students and currently have 11 students working professionally (touring broadway companies, off broadway, and back up singers for pop stars). I’m not just a teacher; I’m also an avid performer. I’ve been in the music and performance industry since middle school and have had the privilege singing in cabaret shows in NYC, regional performances in classical song, touring the country in different musical theatre touring productions, and touring singing in recital, cabarets performing pop, rock and country.
