This is a judgement free zone, we will give you the tools to overcome stage fright and teach you how to be more comfortable with singing in front of others.

Each lesson follows a holistic, mind-body approach. We begin with warm-ups that include elements of yoga, mindful breathing, and techniques to stay present, helping you connect with your body and voice. Next, we focus on vocal exercises to build technique, control, and range. We also teach basic music theory so you can understand how to use your voice effectively and make informed musical choices. Finally, we work on songs you love, applying your skills in a natural and expressive way. The goal is not just to improve your singing, but to cultivate confidence, awareness, musical understanding, and enjoyment in your voice

We offer 45 minutes and 60 minute lessons which helps each student get the most out of their lesson. Students have the option to opt in for bi-weekly lesson, or weekly.

Yes! Many adults who believe they are “tone deaf” can absolutely learn to sing with proper guidance and practice. Being truly tone deaf is actually a very rare medical condition called amusia. Most people who think they’re tone deaf simply need structured practice to improve pitch recognition and vocal control.

My approach is holistic and beginner-friendly, combining:

• Mind-body connection and mindful breathing

• Step-by-step vocal exercises to develop pitch, tone, and control

• Science-backed techniques for healthy, flexible singing

• Songs you love to make practice fun and engaging

With consistent practice and personalized coaching, you can improve your pitch, develop your ear, and sing with confidence, regardless of where you start. Singing is a skill that can be trained at any age.

We offer training in a wide range of styles, including pop, rock, jazz, musical theatre, R&B, and contemporary commercial music. Your lessons are tailored to your voice type, goals, and musical interests.
