I have always had a strange ability to "get it together" for a performance often the week or day before I have to be on stage. When I was in graduate school, I was totally a mess at a dress r...

I would not be the singer I am today had I not heard Emma Kirkbys glorious voice. She is probably my favorite soprano. The first time I heard her voice, I felt a sense of relief. Singing doesnt have ...
I have sort of been a mediocre practicer. When I was a kid, my mom would have to basically pull teeth to get me to practice piano. I enjoyed playing, but I hated the arduous process of learning where...

A student this week asked me whether or not to major in music in college. This is always a hard subject to deal with. I generally try to dissuade them. I like to encourage them to major in something ...

Part of the difficulty of being a singer is doing auditions. At most an audition will probably last you 10 minutes, but that doesnt stop you from FREAKING OUT over preparations. Tonight, I sang the f...
