CURRENT & FORMER STUDENT SUCCESS STORIES
Each of my students has a different definition of success.
Some want to be able to sing “Happy Birthday” at a party or
jump in at a Karaoke bar without feeling self-conscious;
others want to be their best at auditions for performing
arts schools and local singing competitions; and some
aspire to be the next American Idol or a famous pop star.
Here are just a few of their success stories:

The Lake Worth Playhouse’s Summer, 2010
production of “The Magical Land of Oz.”

in the Disney movie “Prom.”
