First and foremost… I’m a singer.
I’ve always been a performer, from playing Tiny Tim when I was eight years old, to the current day where I’m working on five different shows within the next two months.
I get it.
Trying to get confident is a little bit scary… when you walk out on that stage, you’re all alone.
-The lights are bright.
-You can’t see the back of the house.
- What if you forget the words.
- Maybe you’re worried you’ll crack
- What if people will laugh at you… not like you…whatever.
We have All. Been. There.
I can show how to overcome those fears.
I can give you a vocal technique that will teach you to sing with your true self, your true voice, and without any fear of cracking.
I’m not saying you’ll never be nervous again.
I’m not saying it will be easy, or you won’t have to work hard.
This vocal technique is life changing… and it makes you improve FAST.

Now, I’m located in Colorado. If you're within driving distance, that's great, let's meet in person. But if you're not, through the magic of the Internet we can still meet as often as you like.
If you have any questions about the process, I’m more than happy to discuss all of this with you. Drop me a line, or better yet, sign up for a lesson, and let's get started.
Talk soon,

Vocal Technique Lessons from down in the dirt!
I was taking my jujitsu class the other day, and the teacher told us to walk down the line and get partners.
I went to the beginning of the line to shake hands with my next best friend for the hour, and even though I am a pretty tall dude of 6’2”, I got to my partner, shook hands, and continue to gaze up, and up, and up at the face of the 6’8” giant in front of me.
Turns out the dude was an ex-marine, easily had 100 pounds on me, and pretty much laughed with me (in a friendly way) as I tried to wrap him up for the whole hour. It was like a 5-year-old wrestling with his 40-year-old father.
He rolled me up pretty hard, and I walked away with multiple bruises and tweaks to just about everywhere on my fragile frame. Great times!
Point is, I was working out and trying to better myself, and even though there was some pain, I kept at it and finished the work out with this huge sweaty dude...
That’s how you improve.
You have to put in the time on anything, especially your voice, and especially your singing technique.
So, whether you want to get better at performing, technique, singing in tune, or memorization, it’s not that different than drilling wrestling moves with an ex-Marine, taking a yoga class, or summiting a 14er peak (that’s a mountain in Colorado talky). Get down in the dirt, roll your sleeves up, and get to work!

I hate my voice
The word on the street is this:
I really want to sing, but I can’t sing in tune.
I suck! My pitch was always off… it was like navigating a dark room.
I have no idea what I’m doing.
I want to sing super bad, but I can’t sing anything!
I am a bit apprehensive, because nothing is worse than singing off pitch.
(notice all the I’s)
And then there’s this:
“We used to laugh at my father-in-law because he was so tone deaf. Luckily for us he never attempted to sing in front of us.”
Goodness! With that kind of self-fear, who would ever want to learn how to sing, much less have the confidence to take singing lessons, or, GASP, sing in public!
I’d like to introduce a new concept singing lessons.
If you let it, it takes all the fear out of learning how to sing.
It’s so simple, and part of a process, that you just breathe in and do it.
I can show you how.
