Students can expect to explore breath work, music vocabulary, vocal technique, repertoire in varied styles & genres (i.e. classical, musical theatre, contemporary, pop, etc.), and mindfulness practices for presentations and performance anxiety. She has completed Orff Graduate Music Levels 1, 2, and 3 at the University of St. Thomas and most recently taught music at The Prairie School for nine years while serving as Performing Arts Department Chair for five years.
