"I love helping people of all ages and all levels, so please contact me if you are truly interested in developing your voice and your creative spirit!

I prefer to work with young adults and adults, though I am always willing to help a younger singer who is truly motivated to sing."

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” —Neale Donald Walsch

The above quotes continue to shape my life, onstage and off. Life is challenging, but we are all up to the task of it. We have to be. If we have the courage to try new things and explore the unknown with the self-compassion and self-love, anything is possible. And I do believe it helps if you have someone supporting you along the way.

I love to learn, and I love to help others learn as well. I love helping singers develop their instrument as well as their creative spirit. Everyone learns differently and each student has their own needs in the moment. I love the process of figuring out the best way to help someone develop new skills, and support them as they explore new ideas and often break out of their comfort zone.

I am very goal oriented & I help my students create realistic goals (short or long term) that will help them see their progress as they work. We work together to find the most efficient ways to achieve them, remaining flexible and open at all times. I also believe the process of attaining goals needs to be fun and I want to help each student enjoy the journey!

I've been working with Carolyn for the past three or so years and have experienced nothing but growth. I've learned so much about the voice and she's always open to questions, finding a solution or approach to every scenario. Most importantly she harnesses the ability to appropriately push a student beyond their believed potential.
