Teaching Philosophy:

I strive to bring out the natural abilities and talents of each student through the understanding of breathing awareness and support. Through a strong foundation in phonetics we will begin to explore the fundamentals of articulation and rhythm.  I encourage each student to interact and communicate the own questions in a collaborative classroom setting.
