Teaching Philosophy
Music is the one thing I was always sure I wanted to make and would never get tired of. I believe music is extremely helpful in many ways, it allows us to communicate our feelings in a way that we might not realize we can. It helps us feel better, improves our cognitive abilities, shows us what amazing things can be made with something as tiny as our vocal folds. Singing in my opinion one of the most rewarding activities one can do, learning how to breath is extremely beneficial in all aspects of life, understanding the different techniques to be able to develop and control your voice, learning pronunciation and diction, exploring new composers, styles, etc., are just a few of the amazing things you will be able to discover.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
