I am long-time practitioner of insight meditation, and mindfulness principles inform every aspect of my teaching.

When you contribute to my Patreon page, you support all of my ongoing content creation, including blog posts, YouTube videos, yoga nidras, and other social media engagement. That said, I am currently working on revised editions for both of my books. The new editions of Complete Vocal Fitness: A Singer’s Guide to Physical Training, Anatomy, and Biomechanics, and The Singer’s Audition & Career Handbook have anticipated release dates in June, 2024. I am refreshing my Patreon page in order to build interest in and encourage support for these projects.

If you’re a singer or a voice teacher, I think you will be very interested in the updated version of Complete Vocal Fitness. In the years since the release of the first edition, there have been significant breakthroughs in the fitness world, thanks to a growing appreciation for the role that fascia plays in the human movement system. I find these developments particularly exciting for singers. They have helped me to devise simple but effective regimens to help singers release tension, improve breathing, and support alignment. The revised edition will include these regimens, as well as new photography to illustrate them. My patrons will get to watch this new material take shape and beta-test the exercises, if you wish to!

If you’re a classical voice student or opera singer, you will definitely be interested in the updated version of The Singer’s Audition & Career Handbook. The first edition was released right on the eve of the pandemic, just in time for the lockdown, and for the Black Lives Matter and Me Too movements to catalyze a much-needed reckoning with the staggering inequities in the opera world. So the SACH needs an update not only to address the significant changes the opera world has seen since the book came out, but also to provide singers a realistic view of a highly flawed industry and culture, as well as resources to envision and create a new version of the business that provides the quality of opportunities and experiences you desire for yourselves. I anticipate spilling a significant quantity of tea in these pages, and my patrons will get the first splashes.

This page will offer a window into my process as I revise and create new content for both books, as well as an invitation to provide input and feedback. Niche titles like these books earn very little in royalties, so it is the appreciation of my community that is the real reward. I would be delighted if you would consider showing yours in the form of a monthly contribution to my work.
