Teaching

Private Voice Lessons in Philadelphia (Ages 10–Adult)

I offer jazz, pop, and commercial music voice lessons in Philadelphia for singers ages 10 and up. Lessons are personalized to each student’s goals, whether you’re preparing for auditions, developing performance confidence, or exploring singing as a hobby. Study with a working jazz vocalist and university faculty member to grow technique, artistry, and musical expression.
