My Teaching Philosophy
Teaching is my passion!
​
In all honesty,there is nothing as fulfilling, rewarding, and exciting as helping young singers achieve their goals.
​
As a young singer myself, I had to work very hard at understanding the technical complexities of breath support, and how to produce a healthy, beautiful, expressive, and legato sound.
​
I became obsessed with technique because I realized that a solid understanding of how the voice functions would be crucial to my desire to succeed as a serious professional singer. My journey continued as I worked with various voice teachers before I was able to form my own understanding of what makes good singing and how to teach it.
​
My method is clear and precise yet tailored to every individual singer and their needs. As we know, learning to sing is a lifelong process. Because I started my career as a lyric soprano and ended up as a dramatic soprano, I have exceptional experience with those singers who want to take their voice in a different direction. I have been fortunate enough to have combined my career as an international opera singer with that of voice professor at THE ROYAL CONSERVATOIRE ANTWERPEN in Belgium.
