Hello, I'm Timothy! Singing runs in my family, so naturally I spent my childhood performing with members of my family, which led my sister and me to discover our shared love for teaching. When I am not teaching, I am a working singer-actor with credits in opera, musical theatre, early music and contemporary works. Lately, I have been lucky enough to concertize with my husband and go-to pianist, Nicholas.

As a teacher, I continue to develop my craft for pedagogy and singing under the guidance of my mentor, Dr. Chad Payton and my teacher, Dr. Rebecca Folsom. 

I often reflect on ways that I can demystify my role as a voice teacher. There are numerous ways to train a voice and many of them focus on the functional effect, rather than the functional cause. Such an approach may work for some, but can ultimately cause confusion and frustration for a novice singer, especially considering the variety of venues in which we are asked to sing. Conditioning a singer to focus on the functional cause allows them better understand how sounds are created (function) rather trying to reproduce sounds themselves (aesthetic).

In my practice, I have tried to hone the distinction between the art of singing and the process of building a voice. Functional vocal training and mind, body, voice coordination allows subjective and objective concepts to exist under the umbrella of nature's laws governing the function of the vocal mechanism.
