Workshops & Master Classes
Creative learning experiences for musicians, educators, and communities.
Music has an incredible ability to connect, inspire, and empower people. As a licensed K–12 music educator, professional vocalist, songwriter, and experienced clinician, I love creating opportunities for people to learn, grow, and make music together!
From group classes and vocal masterclasses to professional development and school partnerships, I offer engaging, practical learning experiences tailored to the people in the room.

There’s always something new to learn!
I offer interactive classes for musicians of all ages and experience levels, with new offerings scheduled throughout the year.

Visiting Vocal Clinician & Ensemble Coaching
Your ensemble. Your goals. My expertise.
Not every choir, worship team, or musical organization has access to a dedicated vocal specialist. I’d love to help fill that gap!
I offer customized workshops and rehearsal-based coaching for church choirs, worship teams, school ensembles, and community groups.
Areas of focus include vocal health, breath support and sound production, blend and harmony, contemporary vocal technique, and performance preparation.
Whether you’re looking for a one-time rehearsal visit, a vocal masterclass, or ongoing coaching, we’ll create an experience that meets your ensemble’s needs.
Professional Development & Guest Instruction
Practical learning for the people who teach music.
Music educators are often asked to teach beyond the scope of their formal training. I offer professional development and guest instruction designed to bridge the gap between traditional music education and real-world musicianship.
Topics may include jazz and contemporary vocal pedagogy, songwriting in the classroom, improvisation, aural skills, and practical musicianship for worship leaders.
Sessions can be customized for schools, universities, conferences, private studios, churches, and professional learning communities.
Student Workshops & School Partnerships
Creativity. Connection. Learning beyond the classroom.
Drawing on my experience in K–12 education, youth programming, and curriculum development, I offer creative learning experiences for schools, after-school programs, summer camps, and community organizations.
Workshops may explore:
- Songwriting & Storytelling: Helping students express their ideas through original music.
- Music & Social-Emotional Learning: Using music to explore emotions, identity, relationships, and self-expression.
- Finding Your Voice: Building confidence, creativity, and collaboration through music.
- Music, Identity & Community: Exploring culture, connection, and personal expression through music.
Offerings range from single-session workshops to multi-week creative residencies and can be tailored to your students’ ages, abilities, and learning objectives.
