Biographical Information

Bachelor of Music Education Degree, Voice Major, from The Ohio State University. Master of Music Degree in Choral Conducting from the University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music. Over 25 years private voice and piano teaching and choral conducting.  I direct the Columbus Chamber Singers who will be celebrating 30 years of singing on April 21st, 2018, at the First Unitarian Universalist Church in Columbus, OH on Weisenheimer Rd. at 7:30 p.m.

Artistic Statement

I believe all students should be met at their level and encouraged. As an artist I strive for perfection. Trying to interpret what the composer intended is very important. If a student leaves the lesson with a good feeling about what has transpired, I think it was a success.

Teaching, Mentoring or Workshop Facilitating Philosophy

I teach traditional piano lessons and Broadway, classical and jazz voice lessons.  I use a positive approach without sacrificing high standards.
