Teaching Philosophy
My approach to Voice is from a combination of different disciplines enrooted in Performance and Acting Education. Since my background combines Theatre with Music, my students get to experience a performer's full perspective, by learning not only Voice technique but tools of exploration and skills to perform in front of an audience. I want my students to trust and learn from their own processes, I love to be their guide and see how they evolve not only in the subject but as people too.
Musical Education
My first approach to Music education was at the age of 6 when I became a member of the National Children's Choir of Peru. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Arts and Sciences with a specialization in Performing Arts from PUCP (Lima, Peru). I've studied at NMSU (New Mexico, USA) in the Theatre Arts Faculty as an exchange student for a semester. And I've also studied Voice and Body Training for Actors and Singers in the Grotowski Institute (Wroclaw, Poland). I still keep up with my own voice training by taking classes of Lyrical Singing. I have been a professional actress and singer for 9 years and a Voice teacher for 5 years. And I currently live in Vancouver to study Acting for Film and Television at Vancouver Film School.
Awards and Distinctions
I've taught virtual classes of Vocal Technique and Interpretation to Spanish-speaking children and teenagers from different parts of the world through the renowned ed-tech startup Prendea, during the pandemic. In this role, I have played an instrumental part in the process of adapting children to virtual education taking care of their social and emotional wellbeing; in keeping their artistic activities and training still available to them despite social distance; and finally in creating courses and special classes that motivate them to continue learning in the face of the challenges of the educational situation due to COVID-19. The most important achievement for me has been having the trust of my employers and my students reflected in the number of courses and hours that I've taught, having directed more than 16 masterclasses and having more than 100 positive reviews from my own students and their parents.

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!
