TEACHING AT INTERNATIONAL INTERFAITH GOSPEL MUSIC CONFERENCE

I'm excited to be included on the faculty of the International Interfaith Gospel Music Conference being held in Oakland, CA April 27-19, 2017. I'll be teaching vocal health and technique to singers from all over the world. Here's the summary of the sessions:

Vocal Health and Technique
How to work with different parts (registers) of your voice, sing through your range without breaks, release excess tension, and how to use different “colors” in your voice to express authentic emotion. Learn best practices to keep your voice healthy. Come prepared to sing. All levels. 

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Yana S, one of my students, who got the part of Anita in the production of West Side Story at her school. I am so glad the work we did together helped her have a successful audition and book the part! Here's her message to me: “I just wanted to let you know that the audition went really well and I got the part!!! Thank you so much for helping me get prepared. It really helped a lot. -Yana S.

New Music Business Class at CSULA

I'm teaching Intro to the Business of Music at California State University Los Angeles Spring 2014 Quarter. It is a fast-paced exciting class about the new music business, focusing on opportunities for music artists, songwriters, composers, and musicians. I am excited to share what I have learned to empower others to pursue their dreams and live artistically.

Teaching voice in the USC School of Theater Arts

I am excited to be teaching a voice class at USC the Fall semester 2013. I am working with a group of elite BFA actors in USC's School of Dramatic Arts. Today was our first day of class, and I look forward to working with them on singing technique, developing their range, power, and tone, and coaching them on performance and preparing songs for audition.
