I am honored and excited to be singing with the Portland Symphonic Choir this year. This prestigious, large-scale choir is known for working alongside artists such as Andrea Bocelli, the Boston Pops, and the Dave Brubeck Quartet. This year's works include symphonic collaborations of Verdi's Requiem, Francis Poulenc's Gloria, and Mahler's
Resurrection Symphony No. 2. I am looking forward to being a part of these performances and hope you can join us!

Looking to keep your child's mind active and promote creativity this summer?

Unlike other cognitive challenges, musical challenges require learners to use nearly every part of their brain along with the physical coordination of hundreds of muscles. Singing requires the development and control of finite muscle groups, endurance, and breath control alongside artistic, rhythmic, literary, mathematic, and auditory challenges.

Music supports:

🎼Whole brain synchronization
🎼Cross domain integration
🎼Neuroplastic development
🎼Intuitive creativity
🎼Critical thinking

If you are looking to keep your child's mind musically active this summer, I'd love to help you get your child started in voice lessons. Lessons include technique and skill development through exercises, discussions about anatomy, personalized music selections to excite and engage your learner, and lessons in solfege, sight-singing, and music theory. For questions, please email [email protected] or call 253-260-3480

Singing well is science paired with athleticism.

(Insert confused expression here)

Many great people genuinely believe singing is just something you do. And when told that there is a lot of science involved, I am often met with honest confusion. So here's just a small list of ways singing requires scientific understanding and athletic training:

Athletic demands:
Muscular accuracy, endurance, respiratory and core strength, control of intercostal muscles, vocal agility, precision, and coordination requiring regular training, warm ups, cool downs, and proper technique to prevent injury (especially when singing vocally demanding music)

Acoustic science: pitch frequencies, formant, resonance, vowel frequencies and modifications.

Biological science: 100+ muscles including core, intercostal, and pelvic floor muscles, subglottal pressure, complex laryngeal functions, threshold pressures, supraglottal pressure and so much more.

This is a quick glance at just a few of the many physiological and scientific demands required to sing well. Sure....there's a lot to unwrap here... but a good teacher will guide you through exercises and present information in a way you can understand so that you can smoothly and gradually develop your vocal athleticism.

It has been a privilege and absolute joy working with retired Mariner's pitcher, Jamie Moyer.
Jamie, not a lesson went by where you didn't have me laughing from all of your shenanigans. So many great memories were made as we explored music and learned the art of singing. I always knew when you had arrived for lessons because I could hear you singing! During this time, you have taught me so much both as a teacher and as a friend. Your hard work, in preparing to sing for your daughter's wedding, is an inspiration. I wish you both the best and look forward to many more wonderful lessons.
