I've been teaching contemporary vocals for 15 years and have over 45 years singing experience and knowledge in both classical and contemporary vocal styles. I teach from my home studio in Whataupoko, Gisborne as both a vocal coach and a vocal technique instructor. I focus strongly on vocal development using scientifically proven pedagogy and healthy techniques to ensure longevity of the voice. I've dedicated my life to singing and learning about the voice and this has inspired the design, development and implementation of my wholistic vocal program which has been very effective at helping my students achieve great vocal results in a reasonable time-frame.  My program is designed to work with all voices and ability levels from children to adults. ​As a voice teacher I draw from many different methodologies, both classical (bel canto) and contemporary and I have a flexible, personalized approach, as each person and voice is very different. ​My vocal and musical experience includes singing from a young age, choir leader at high school, Estill Level 1&2 vocal training, performances in plays, singing professionally, recording a contemporary music album, various musical projects, voice over work for radio commercials, backing vocals for other artists' albums, lyrical content for artists' songs, collaborating with other musicians, producing/composing music on digital audio workstations, audio engineering, songwriting, and teaching voice. I'm honest and I will always encourage and guide my students to achieve their full vocal potential, artistry and unique voice. If there are any health concerns with your voice I would suggest consulting a medical professional.
