TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
I teach voice to all levels, and believe that a strong healthy understanding of the basics of singing can allow you to achieve your best success, whatever musical style you choose.

"Sophia's voice matured significantly through her lessons with you."  -Student parent

"Every week we focused on one or maybe two things that we could make better, and when one exercise or visualization wasn't working, we'd try a different approach." - Adult student
