"I find great delight in teaching voice and watching singers develop their sound, musicianship and artistry.  Having taught voice for forty-five years, it is a privilege to see them work professionally with opera companies, theaters, and symphonies. 

My constant desire is that I can offer encouragement and instill confidence and courage in my students to pursue their dreams and their love of singing. Music has blessed my life and I hope to inspire my students with the same joy I have found."
