We could call these sessions teaching or coaching, but I like to keep it simple:

Let’s learn about your voice and build your practice.

With over 15 years working with others, my system evolves with you. I work with humans of all ages, abilities, and styles. Growing up in the musically eclectic city of New Orleans, I know that our voices are beyond one category. Because…I can’t name one person who sings just one genre of music. I care that you connect with your voice in the most healthy and authentic way during and, more importantly, beyond our session. Enjoy whatever you may be singing at that moment.

All who invested time with me have a wide range of goals: some are learning to match pitch or wanting to read music, some want to tackle that song they always wanted to sing, some want to rock an entire role or live performance set. Others even have been accepted into the nation’s top music conservatories, signed with major record companies, or built the courage and technique to sing their favorite song at their own wedding.

Whether you are looking to work 1-to-1 or in a large group setting, check out the schedule below and let’s find a time.
