See You In September! Lessons start Sept 7, 2022

For current and potential student, here’s an update as we move through Summer 2023: 8-week Singing Subscriptions – how it works: Decide how often you want to take a lesson (weekly, 2-weeks, etc.) Decide which days/times are best for you and let me know.

Saturday SipNSings: Performance Without Perfection

WHAT are Saturday SipNSings? They are informal performance opportunities held 1-2 times each month to give current students the chance to practice their performance skills. Before 2020, these performance classes were held in person in Fall, Winter, and Summer. Thanks to COVID creativity(!), we moved the classes to online Zoom meetings as of April 2020. […]
