CWRU Pop Vocal Studies

Dear Friends (and especially any of my former students who are music/theatre educators!),

Do you know a high-school student who is interested in the Great American Songbook? If so, please send them my way!

This July, I am heading up a brand-new summer program at the Cleveland Institute of Music focusing on (in my opinion) the most fabulous songs ever!! The emphasis will be on how to develop one's own interpretation of this repertoire, so all kinds of vocalists (pop, musical theatre, jazz, classical, country...) are strongly encouraged to apply.

We've got a line-up of amazing and supportive guest artists coming in for coachings and masterclasses, and the week culminates in a performance in beautiful Mixon Hall. Everyone also gets a private lesson with me. 🎉

Applications are due APRIL 1st. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I'll be happy to answer them.
