Teaching Philosophy
Singing for me is the most beautiful act of sharing and self discovery. I will teach you to find your own voice with the experience I have gathered as a voice teacher and performer, and understanding the abilities and challenges of each student.
Musical Education
I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees: -University of Western Ontario - Doctor of Musical Arts - Voice Performance (in process) - Georgia State University - Master of Music - Voice Performance - Universidade de São Paulo - Bachelor of Music - Voice I studied voice since 1999. My teachers were classically trained. World acclaimed tenor Benito Maresca was my first voice teacher, and I have followed my studies with mezzos Kathryn Hartgrove (U.S.) and Sophie Roland (Canada). I have been performing operas, concerts and recitals in the United States, Europe, Canada and Brazil in the last 19 years.

Special Skills and Trainings
My training in voice started singing in a choir. The enthusiasm of learning music and performing together with other passionate people made me want to learn everything about voice. In less than a year I was already attending as a soloist the most prestigious music program in my country. I was accepted as a student in all major summer programs in Brazil, such as Festival de Campos do Jordao, and was invited to teach voice at Festival de Musica de Prados.

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!
