| Statement of Philosophy: |
| I am passionate about each individuals right to clear and effective communication, to musicality and creativity. This is vital both in every day life and on stage. Regardless of race, gender or social background, everyone deserves the opportunity to express themselves with inspiration and imagination, and to be shown a path to guide them on their vocal and physical adventures. When I work with students, I work to find ways that they can improve their awareness and understanding of vocal and physical processes. Maintaining the individuality of my students is of great importance, and I always encourage positive experiences so that greater freedom and skill can be gained. |
