Progressive Vocal TechniquesTM 

for Singers and Teachers of Singing

Same West Hollywood Location Since 1997

Welcome to my website.

This is a temporary site design while I have another better, more professional one developed. I hope that here you will find the answers to your questions about my professional qualifications as a singing teacher, the vocal techniques I use, the modern vocal training technology I employ, the type of students I have, how to find the studio, my rates, and how to contact me.   

Please be sure to check out my COMLETE RESUME/CV

Progressive Vocal Techniques™

What's New?

•  1 1/2 hour lessons added for the professional singer, voice teacher, and students wanting to get a more complete lesson. Aslo for voice teachers traing to be Progressive Vocal Techiques certified. For many, one-hour lessons are just not enough!
• SKYPE lessons are being added. 
• I am beginning a series of Progressive Vocal Techniques™ workshops. The first will be on Breathing for Singers. Please see page tab below for more information.
• On Saturday 01/17/09, at California State University, Fullerton, I attended a workshop "The Voice and Movement Connection" that was given by Joan Melton, hosted by Actor Fitness.

  "This one-day course uses Pilates, Suzuki, yoga and dance to explore the whole physical/vocal instrument."

• I just completed Elisabeth Howard's Vocal Power(TM) 8-week workshop in Topanga (Los Angeles), CA. (Jan-Mar 2008) She is a master voice teacher and these workshops are great for students as well as new and established teachers.  Whatever your level or style as a singer or teacher, Liz is there to help.

•  I Just added a new page on this site for singers to ask me technical questions about the voice. 
• I completed Lisa Popeil's three-day Belting and Commercial Vocal Techniques workshop Belt Your Way to the Top. Held in Pleasant Hill, CA., from August 2-5, 2007.
• Teacher Training Courses: Private lessons in vocal pedagogy and techniques for teachers or furture teachers of singing. See link.  
• My Master's thesis Classical and Non-Classical Singing Techniques: Selecting and Integrating Strengths of Each Approach is published and available for circulation at the California State University, Los Angeles library .
• I am in the process of writing my new book on vocal techniques titled Smarter Singers, Smarter Singing.
