Joy of Singing

Specialties

I specialize in helping singers in their quest to strengthen their voice, change their style, as well as lower or raise their key. Also, I help people who think they can’t sing, or think they are tone deaf, begin to experience the joy of singing. The two methods I use to teach are «Natural Singing» and «Dramatic Singing». Natural Singing teaches students that the muscles engaged when singing move involuntarily. Dramatic Singing teaches students what I have come to learn over the years: if you can talk you can sing. Singing is sheer joy.

To give students practice singing in front of others, I offer a Sunday singing party from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, in a «safe for singing» environment.

History

Established in 1987.

I have been successfully using my own teaching method which is different from any that I have experienced or read about. To date, I have had only private students who were referred by other students or other musicians. I am starting to advertise for students wanting group lessons. My methods include Dramatic Singing for pitch challenges, and Natural Singing to protect the throat.

Business Owner

I started formal voice training in 1979. My major at San Francisco State University was «Teaching Creative Arts». I soon developed a successful teaching method for the young child in all areas of the creative arts. I owned and operated a creative arts preschool in the inner sunset. In addition, I developed a successful method for teaching adults to sing. Also, I write and perform jazz/​blues as «Lady Love». I sing and teach in all genres, and I perform at every opportunity «just for the fun of it.»
