MUSIC & LESSON PHILOSOPHY

♬ Song is sacred; it’s a miracle and a gift that we can produce melodies and harmonies at all! Music belongs to everyone—not just celebrities or prodigies. I nurture that belief in my lessons (voice, songwriting, guitar, ukulele, fiddle), helping you own your voice and musical creation so it can positively affect all aspects of your life. Through reflective prompts, lyric-writing, and creative exercises—practices I use myself—I explore how music is part of our holistic system, connected to everything we think, feel, and experience.

Singing with controlled breath, in particular, has incredible effects on our health and well-being: it activates the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in regulating the parasympathetic nervous system ("rest & digest" system), lowering heart rate and blood pressure, promoting the release of oxytocin, improving digestion, reducing inflammation, and enhancing relaxation. Such a sacred activity deserves to be done safely and sustainably, so let’s work together to honor your authentic voice while keeping your instrument healthy and strong.

PERFORMANCES & PROJECTS

My music has taken me to some incredible places: from government and diplomatic functions, to TEDx, TV, and radio. But above all, music has allowed me to connect with people and communities all over the world, shaping my approach to communications and life.

I have performed on TV and radio, with my top video reaching over 1 million views. But I have a special place in my heart for singing with kids. After six years with Disney's World Family, other educational programs and shows, as well as teaching Elementary and High School, I know that music is a fantastic resource in the educative toolkit. I often write songs to help others memorize for tests, study new languages, etc… Please reach out if you need a custom song for your upcoming exam!
