Teaching Philosophy
I believe that music and especially singing are a key part of growing as a person and finding your confidence as a performer. I remember how inspired I was as a kid by my music teachers and I want to help inspire the next generation of performers!
Musical Education
I am a singer and performer originally from the UK where I trained and earned a diploma in Musical Theatre at Performance Preparation Academy in Guildford. I have been a musician since I was six years old and it has taken me all around the world as a profession, having toured with shows such as Jersey Boys, Green Day's American Idiot and Choir of Man.

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!
