I offer lessons in singing, song-writing, and music production. My goal is to foster a love of music, and to encourage the expression of each person’s innate musical voice.
Voice Lessons
Singing is a journey toward loving your own voice and learning how to listen to and work with your body. The voice is inseparable from our inner life—fear, joy, longing, tenderness. To sing well is to inhabit those states honestly and with control. Standing on a stage—or singing in a room with others—requires both rootedness in yourself and openness to the energy around you. Singing is a kind of channeling: breath, emotion, story, and sound moving through you in real time. It is a meaningful responsibility to be a singer. To be asked to share a song—one that tells your story or gives shape to something that cannot be spoken—deserves care, skill, and courage. My work is to help you build the technique and self-trust that allow you to do exactly that.
Music Production
Music production is the craft of shaping sound: writing, recording, arranging, and building a musical world using tools like Ableton, Logic Pro, or GarageBand. Production is deeply creative and surprisingly visual. You see your ideas take shape on the screen as you layer rhythm, harmony, texture, and space. It engages both the ear and the eye, and it strengthens the way you think about structure, timing, and storytelling in music. It also builds highly usable skills. Learning production means learning how to record and edit audio, refine a vocal take, mix a track, and even edit videos. These are practical tools that translate far beyond a single song. My deepest passion is Ableton. After my first lesson, I went home and cried—not out of frustration, but because I suddenly felt how much was possible. Anyone can learn this at any age. If you want creative independence and the ability to bring your ideas fully to life, production is a powerful place to begin.
Song Writing
Songwriting is deeply personal work. It is an ancient practice—part storytelling, part devotion, part discovery. It asks for careful listening and fearless creation. As Leonard Cohen once said, “If I knew where the good songs came from, I'd go there more often.” Songs are not forced into existence: they are invited; they are listened for. In our work together, we’ll learn how to listen for where a song wants to go and how to nurture it from a fragment into a fully realized piece. That may mean shaping harmony, clarifying structure, refining lyrics, or strengthening a melodic line. We will also study your favorite songs to learn how to articulate our own musical intuition. Songwriting is as much about attention as it is about invention. My role is to offer guidance as you learn to trust your instincts and bring your songs fully into the world.
