About My Teaching 
I have been teaching voice for over 25 years. My students have gone to New England Conservatory, Westminster Choir College, Ithaca College, Oberlin Conservatory and Carnegie-Mellon among others. They have also been singing on regional and national musical theatre stages or in the local high school musical. And some students sing in the local church choir or just want to sing at their cousin’s wedding.
