About Singing to the Flowers :
Hello and welcome to my Private Studio page: Singing to the Flowers!
I offer both in-person and Zoom/virtual lessons with 30 or 60 minute options.
I am currently based in New York City. Last year I received my Master's in Vocal Performance: Musical Theatre at NYU. In the Spring of 2020, I completed my BFA in Vocal Performance: Classical Voice and Opera with a minor in Creative Writing at Carnegie Mellon University. I have been singing and performing since I was a young child. I'm extremely lucky to have had my parents recognize my love of music and performance early on, signing me up for lessons, workshops and camps at a young age. I am very grateful for my family, as well as my teachers who started me on the path to where I am today. My goal as an educator is to help younger generations of performers to find their voice and their passion in music and performance, as I did. Below you will find my credentials as well as my experience with teaching, assisting and working with children, teens and young adults. In addition, I have also been certified in Pediatric and Adult First Aid/CPR/AED through American Red Cross since 2012.
