8 Years of Teaching Experience in Chicago

For ages 4-94, I delightfully teach Rock, distorted vocals, Pop, Musical Theater, Folk, Alternative, and MORE! Expand your singer toolkit and create goals for yourself. Learn how to sing with YOUR voice!

I am a One Weird Trick trained voice teacher and a former teacher at The Voice Lab in Chicago. Students and I work on aligning their identity with their speaking (and/or singing) voice habits. I am able to teach Voice Feminization, Voice Masculinization, and Androgynous Voice.

I LOVE the DIY music scene in Chicago. I will help you find out how you can put together your amazing skills of instrument playing and singing! In lessons I can work with you to make covers of your favorite songs. OR we can develop that idea you have for a song! Let’s get to it!
Your Voice, Your Choice.
Student goals are ALWAYS at the center of my teaching.
In lessons, we will work towards your voice goals. Whether you are working towards using a speaking voice that aligns with your gender, want to feel confident as you sing karaoke, or are a professional singer - what YOU want to learn is at the center of each session. Along the way, you discover how your values and how who you are shape your voice. AND YOU CAN HAVE A BLAST, TOO??!
