As a musician and music educator music has been a part of my whole life, from growing up at the piano to playing and singing for choirs and productions and curating concerts, to entering the voice science and vocal pedagogy field. Teaching English as a foreign language also gives me a pedagogical edge in designing lessons for unique customers, particularly children who speak English as an additional language and adults who are beginning singing or are 'retooling' their voices.
