Have you ever found yourself at a concert?

. . . really "found yourself?"  Where the music lifted you up, connected you with the people around you, built a bridge between you and the singers onstage?  Swept up by the music, you whispered to yourself, "This is where I belong."

Now picture yourself in front of the mic.

What would you sing?  What story would you tell?  How would your life change if you sang out for what you really want?  Singing words you've always longed to sing.  A little nervous, but feeling so alive, with your voice soaring . . . .

Don't ask what the world needs
Ask what makes you come alive and go do it

I'm excited to steer you on an adventure to find your inner compass.  

As a singing teacher who can train you in this ancient art, 

and reveal your own guiding light, 

I can help you find your way in the wild. 

Music can lead you to seek your unique highest self, 

skillfully empowering your voice and life 

through waves of emotion & sound,

seeking buried treasures -

on a new shore that you can call your own.  

Taking singing lessons can be part of that journey.
