Piano Lessons

With over 25 years of experience, I offer instruction in classical technique applied to a variety of styles, from Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven to contemporary works. Students have the opportunity to perform in two recitals each year and participate in occasional small-group lessons to enhance their performance skills. Private lessons emphasize music theory, composition, music history, and career preparation. I use the Dorothy Taubman Technique to ensure injury-free playing, and focus on interpretation through the direct teaching line of Chopin.

Voice Lessons

Voice instruction covers a range of styles, from Disney tunes and jazz ballads to Broadway hits and light opera arias. Whether for personal enjoyment or professional training, students receive expert guidance using Alexander and Italian Bel Canto techniques from a seasoned actress and singer. Performing opportunities include two recitals each year and occasional small-group lessons to refine performance skills.

Drama Lessons

Unleash your inner actor with Drama lessons and Acting Workshops. These workshops cover essential drama techniques through engaging exercises, including eye contact, character analysis, gestures and body language, subtext and motivation, and projection and diction for the stage. Participants will have opportunities to perform scenes from Shakespeare, classic musical theater, and contemporary theater, with audition preparation also available.
