Voice
Quick Resume: I love teaching and performing music. I have been teaching and performing professionally for more than 20 years. Professional training from some of the best teachers in the business. I have an extensive background in music ranging from performing on tours with rock bands, singing musical theater and extensive work on guitar playing Latin, flamenco, rock and jazz and steel string acoustic work. Believe me when I tell you, "you'll be studying with one of the most well rounded teachers out there." I promise you a great time learning and getting you to your goal in the most effective way. I had the great honor of studying with late great Maurice Allard, my voice teacher for two years. Maurice Allard was the director of the Orange County Master Chorale and was a previous instructor at the French Conservatory and the famous conservatory "Julliard. To had studied with Maurice, you were invited once he heard you sing. I did group lessons with a band around that time and soon asked me to study privately with him for over a year. He taught me voice like no-one else has. And so can I.

"So much passion and creativity come flowing out at all times that if you get caught in that aspect, you will miss his mastery in weaving melodies and harmonies with an astonishing finesse."

"After seeing him perform a show in which he played nylon flamenco guitar, steel string bluegrass guitar and played the stand-up bass in the same show, what else can one say? An amazing musician!"
