They believe student tutors are highly effective because they’re very familiar with the material, are more relatable/friendly to their tutorees, often becoming role models. All of this at a more affordable rate than adult tutors who can charge exorbitant fees.

Voice lessons enable you to grow as a musician and as a person. My lessons are tailored to the individual student, which allows them to develop and learn to their fullest potential. I believe it is crucial to create a secure and inspiring environment for my students to blossom and try new things. To achieve this, I emphasize positive encouragement and modify my teaching in a fashion that is best suited for each student.
