I welcome all ages and levels of singers - have both complete beginners and university level students. In all styles I focus on how breath, energy and thought affect the voice in various ways, depending on application of each. For classical singers I teach on Bel Canto, Italian school of singing.

As a freelance musician I have aflexible schedule, especially in the daytime - suggest a time and I can most likely accommodate.

Have a down town Toronto studio by Yonge and Bloor. Also willing to travel to the student's home for an additional $5 fee.
