Online lessons work best for motivated, adult students, though I will take on students who are at least 12 years old. I teach all levels and styles, from beginner to advanced, though I specialize in contemporary voice, specifically pop, rock, indie, and alternative.

A good microphone. An audio interface. A device with a camera that you can take a video call on, ideally a laptop or desktop computer, but a smartphone can work fine. If you would like some specific recommendations here goes::

Here are two of my favorite options for microphones.

And two of my favorite options for audio interfaces:

Budget/great for smartphones: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EVO4--audient-evo-4-usb-audio-interface (Consider the headphone bundle. Insane value. It's also great to hear yourself through headphones).

You'll also need a high speed internet connection of at least 5 mb/s and a video call app, ideally Zoom.

Other helpful apps that I recommend are

Moises: the Musician's app. Available on Mac/iOS and Android. It's an incredible AI-powered app that separates tracks and allows you to make your own karaoke backing tracks. You can change the key and the tempo. The app even shows you the song lyrics in real time, generated with the AI. The words are usually mostly correct. It's just really wild. Such a useful tool.

There is also the Tabs app by Ultimate-Guitar, or on a computer, their website, ultimate-guitar.com for anyone wishing to learn to accompany themselves on.. you guessed it, guitar. There is no better app for learning how to play songs on guitar. It has everything. All the songs. I use it every single day. I've been using the website since I was 14 years old, first starting on guitar. Trust me, it's solid.

At the time of writing this, each app is around $40/year.

Far more than worth it, objectively.

Absolutely. Vocal studios across the globe first began transitioning to zoom lessons at the start of the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic. Technology developed and accelerated rapidly as a result, and the adoption of Zoom lessons has now become the norm. The voice is easily assessed online provided best practices are followed and the minimum budget equipment is obtained properly utilized.

Most students see positive changes in the first lesson, but long term goals take time to manifest.

Depending on your current level and dedication, 3-6 months is the typical time frame required for a noticeable improvement.

I offer lessons weekly to establish momentum and help you make consistent progress.

It's completely normal to feel uncertain about your goals and direction. Our coaching process begins with an initial assessment where we'll work together to clarify your aspirations, values, and priorities. Through insightful questioning and exploration, we'll collaboratively uncover your passions and potential areas for growth. If you're not entirely sure about your goals, our coaching can help you gain clarity and chart a course that aligns with your authentic self. Remember, the journey towards clarity is an integral part of the coaching process itself.

I absolutely guarantee that you will get better working with me as your coach.

With a few caveats, of course. After all, we haven't even met yet.

I don't know what your work ethic is like. I don't know how much you really want this. I don't even know what level you are starting at.

There are all kinds of ways for us to zoom in and track not only your singing progress and your practice, but also external factors like diet, exercise, sleep. There are a lot of variables to consider.

You could journal and follow a strict practice schedule.

You could adopt strict diet. Gluten-free-vegan-whatever.

But do you wanna know what helps the most?

Investing in yourself.

Showing up to voice lessons. Showing up to your vocal practice sessions. You will start to get better and that will motivate you and propel you forward. If you're lucky you may even become slightly addicted to progress.

In my experience that kind of comes and goes in waves on its own. It really helps to have someone in your corner, who knows what they are talking about, holding you accountable week to week, and providing tailored, structured lessons and advice.

So yeah, I guarantee you will get better if we work together.

Because I'm really, really good at this.

Because I live for this.

And I seriously used to be the worst singer around.

That's the "If-I-Can-You-Can" Guarantee.

Truthfully, every vocal student I have ever worked with has improved immensely as a direct result of our lessons. So why not you?

Why. Not. You.

If you never try, you'll never know.

So what are you waiting for?
