Teaching Philosophy

As a voice teacher, my goal is to make singing feel easy, exciting, and efficient. No matter where my students are in their singing journey, I aim to provide the necessary tools and guidance to take their voice to the next level. To achieve this, I establish clear goals alongside each student that focus on a combination of singing technique, body awareness, musicality, sightreading, and performance skills.

My greatest joy as a voice teacher is witnessing my students' progress and the joy they experience as they discover their vocal potential. I am dedicated to helping them achieve their musical goals while cultivating a lifelong love for singing.

establezco objetivos claros con cada alumno, centrados en una combinación de técnica de canto, musicalidad, teoría musical y habilidades de actuación. Mi mayor alegría como maestra de canto es notar el progreso de mis alumnos y la alegría que sienten al descubrir su potencial. Me dedico a ayudarlos a alcanzar sus metas musicales mientras cultivo una pasión por el canto que siga toda la vida.
