"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,
