Bio

A lifelong performer with training in voice care, Bel Canto, and choral direction, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Vocal Performance from St. John’s University and the College of St. Benedict in central Minnesota. By singing, we can create our own joy.

As banjoist and singer in the Twin Cities band Skunk Hollow, I celebrate and promote American folk music.

Toward my passion for sacred choral music, I am currently a staff singer and member of the Schola Cantorum at St. Thomas More Church in St. Paul.

Teaching singing is one of my life’s thrills—come sing along!

My Philosophy

I promote a mind-body understanding of singing and vocal care. The energetics of voice provide a window into the whole person—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Singing deepens the connection to one’s most authentic self.

Our lessons are guided by your musical interest across genres and are grounded in fundamental classical technique. Vocal exercises are assigned and customized according your individual goals, abilities, and challenges. We will choose repertoire that inspires you and advances your technique and work at your pace.
