I have 5 years of teaching experience. My students have ranged from ages 5 - 58 from various levels of experience (beginners to professional singers).

It's never too early or too late to learn how to sing or sing better!

There is nothing I'd love more than to help you find and grow your own individual voice! My teaching approach is all-rounded, specific to each student, and based on combining technique with play and exploration.

My personal strength and priority with teaching is creating a comfortable environment to experiment. Singing can be very scary but I promise you'll feel safe and grow your confidence in no time!

And we'll have the most fun reaching our singing goals!
Singing exists to create JOY! So, if we're not having a great time singing, then there really isn't any point, is there?? We will play, make weird noises, make mistakes, learn from those mistakes, and grow!

NOTE: The first lesson is a free trial and will occur over Webcam. If we decide to move further with lessons the the teaching location can be discussed :)

Please message me and we can start working on any of the following and more:
- Foundational Singing Technique
- Belting
- Increasing Range
- Vocal Health
- Audition Prep

  • When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?

    I have always been interested in singing, ever since I could remember. My mom is a musician and vocal coach and so I grew up surrounded by music and a variety of different voices (those of her students). When I was a teenager I rebelled and did not want to pursue something that either one of my parents did. But I couldn't stay away from singing and performing in theatre productions and eventually accepted that this is why I am here: To sing and to assist others in singing as well.
  • What makes you passionate about your subject?

    The thing I love most about singing is the power it has to connect to oneself and others. It is a means of expression, communication, and storytelling. It's just the coolest thing in the world.
  • What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?

    My favourite thing about tutoring is meeting new people, discovering what makes them who they are, and providing a space in which they can find and claim their individual voice. Teaching singing is also just the most fun! Lots of experimenting and playing around and laughing as we go. What makes me a "Superprof" is how much I care about singing and my students.
  • Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain.

    My parents have always been my role models. My mom because of her creative ambition and my dad because of his confidence in making strong choices. I also had a music teacher in High School, Mr. De Jager, who changed how I looked at myself and the world. If I can provide half of what my parents and Mr. De Jager gave to me, I'd be doing a great job as a teacher.
  • What are your keys to success?

    Here are five keys:
    1) Respect yourself and others
    2) Experiment - wrong but strong is better than safe and weak
    3) Show up and be prepared
    4) Rest when it is time to rest
    5) Focus on the Joy!
