“My teaching style is very simple and to the point, the goal is to learn how to sing, and I acknowledge that it can take a lot of courage to sing. I try to encourage learning with constructive criticism, while promoting self-confidence. I don't like to get too technical about singing because it can actually slow one's progression. I was once told, ‘if it hurts, you are singing wrong.’ This philosophy stems from simply knowing all the elements that it takes to sing properly.”
