Online coaching via Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp or Hangouts.
I coach over 60 artists every year. If I am unable to help you, I am happy to refer colleagues that may be open to work with you.
A pianist and a vocal coach, I am on faculty at the Curtis Institute of Music and the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia. I coach professional singers, conductors, stage directors and choruses in preparation of Russian repertoire for opera, orchestra performances, recitals and recordings.
