TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Awareness of the body, Appreciating the music, Applying techniques into songs. We learn to connect the breath and body with the voice, as it is part of one whole system. I teach those who come in with an open-mind, willing to learn and grow with me. I enjoy teaching and sharing the joy music can bring, music makes you imagine, makes you empathize and makes you want to get up on stage and sing! I believe in life long learning and everyone should have a chance to try. I hope to empower my students to reach their full potential, musically and artistically. Let’s have fun exploring your voice and the wonders of music!
