I love teaching and performing - and I do a lot of both!
I have been
teaching in the Bay Area for over a decade, and I also perform regularly
 with Opera Santa Barbara's innovative education outreach program, The
Opera Lab.  I perform locally and abroad -- I have sung in Spoleto,
Italy, for two summers and bring my expertise in Italian into lessons.
I
 teach children and adults - anyone who has a passion for singing and
wants to learn!  I help you create a solid technique rooted in a free
and easy breath, and we work to undo any tensions you have in your body
that hold you back.
