He has taught all levels of singers, from 6 years old to adults, many different genres of music, and transgender voice training. He is an advocate for using science to better understand how the voice works to allow his students to have much more vocal freedom/expression, and to achieve a voice they are most comfortable with.
His biggest project right now is being the president of the Young Professional Opera Guild, where he seeks to be an advocate for community members and performers. This nonprofit works bring opera education to the community through various popup performances, recitals and opera education watch parties. “My goal as a voice teacher is to create an environment where my students feel safe and secure enough that they can allow themselves to unleash the artist that is in everyone. In just the past few years the field of voice science has grown exponentially in its use to help people understand how the human voice functions.
I want to use this knowledge that we use to help singers become much more aware and confident in their singing voices, and transfer it to helping the trans community find their own true voice. As a fellow member of the LGBTQ community I understand what is was like to not feel comfortable in my own skin before i came out, so I would like to help any individual going through this same process in any way that i can.”
