Singing is a skill, and just like any other skill it can absolutely be taught and cultivated in the right student-teacher relationship. Although there are some things you can learn about singing on your own, a skilled vocal mentor is a must for receiving responsive, personalized, and in-the-moment instruction.

Sure do! All ages are welcome :)

Nope! In fact, retirement is a great time to conquer that list of things you’ve always wanted to do. Learn to sing? Check. Have fun? Double check.

I sure do! I have a Bachelor of Education which includes course work in Orff pedagogy (an early years music teaching strategy). I taught in the public school system for roughly 10 years, with about half of that spent in the Early Years music room. After years of seeing what different brains and bodies need in the music classroom I am thrilled to be able to now help kids explore. music in a one-on-one capacity. Let me know what type of learner your child is so that we can chat about what might work for them!

Singing should be about inner joy, getting into a flow, and expressing yourself. Some people like to compete, and that is totally fine! We will co-create your goals, and work together to make lessons feel like a Just Right Fit for you. 

Short answer - yes! Longer answer - just as with any specialty, improving a skill is a journey that takes time, patience, and commitment to the process. Let’s chat about how that could look for you!

ME TOO!!! Okay, not so much anymore, but I was soul crushingly shy in Middle School. Singing helped me find my voice, both literally and figuratively. Shy singers can rest assured that we’ll start by always singing together (I’m on your team!) and take it from there when you feel comfortable. I am here to support you as you work through your confidence - we’ll move gently and slowly as a team. 

That sounds so fun! Yes, singing lessons are available on a pay-as-you-need basis. You would book several lesson slots and pay at the end of each individual session. Do I guarantee that you’ll get the part you are hoping for? Sigh, if only I could. But I do want to help you feel more comfortable with the audition process and feel as ready as possible for the big day! 

No problem! The fun thing about singing is that when you learn how to fully use your voice it unlocks so many genres for you - not just classical. Most of my voice students enjoy using Broadway, Disney, pop, and folk songs in their lessons. Feel free to let me know which songs you love and hope to sing!

Shift workers are my favourite! We can absolutely work you in on a book-as-you-go system. Book yourself a Tuesday morning lesson before you head to your shift at 11am. Its a great way to intentionally add some joy to your busy schedule and feel like you got to do something that day other than work. I've worked with nurses, paramedics, and restaurant servers with great success.
