Statement of Philosophy:
I am dedicated to the promotion of the use of self and the way we use ourselves to free inhibitions, to develop lifelong flexibility, both physical and vocal, and to promote vocal health.  I am committed to celebrating and respecting diverse cultural backgrounds.  I believe that training is about focusing in on the universal lessons of growth, awareness, and our own unique expression.
