"Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong."

Welcome! You’re probably here because you have a passion for singing. Me too! I’ve been a professional vocalist for twenty years, performing for royalty, the rich, and the famous at venues like Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach and at Birdland in NYC. I’ve performed with the Palm Beach Pops singing standards, with Mary Wilson of The Supremes singing Motown, and I’ve covered many pop genres as a studio session vocalist.

I never thought anything could compare to the thrill of performing, but that was before I began teaching voice over ten years ago. Helping my students of all ages build strong technique, overcome their individual vocal hitches and ultimately sing to the best of their ability has been more rewarding than I could have imagined.

My mission as a voice teacher is to give students a comprehensive, practical education. Proper vocal technique is the critical foundation, but there’s so much more I’ve learned as a working vocalist that is necessary for singing success. I address everything from song choice to microphone technique to stage presence and have regular student showcases for live performance experience. I offer the Switzer Musical Productions professional recording studio to students once they’ve mastered a song for the purpose of gaining knowledge in the recording process including post production. Students then have a quality recording to share with friends and family, for use as a demo, and to hear their progress. (Check out “Student Audio” to hear my current students incredible recordings!)


I look forward to hearing from you,
