Option A — Private Study
Drawn from my master classes, Private Study is designed to give you, the Student, one-on-one exposure to the history of cabaret and the art of cabaret performance, with the aim of making you a more conscientious singer and performer. The history component includes published biographies and historical texts, as well as rare film footage and archival recordings. For the performance component, I incorporate the writings of, most notably, Yvette Guilbert (The Art of Singing a Song, 1928), Carolyn Sloan (Finding Your Voice: A Practical & Spiritual Guide to Singing and Living, 1999), and Renee Fleming (The Inner Voice, 2005), as well as the teachings of my mentors: Jessica Kubzansky and Tovah Feldshuh in acting, and Jeanne LoVetri, Carlo Faria, Mady Kaye and Gina Ducloux in voice.

Duration and Sessions
Private study terms are a maximum of two weeks in length, during which time we will schedule three hours of instruction and/or rehearsal per day (Mondays through Fridays, unless otherwise agreed).


Option B — Performance-Directed Intensive
The Performance-Directed Intensive is designed to give you, the Student, one-on-one exposure to the history of cabaret and the art of cabaret performance as outlined in the Private Study option, with the goal of mounting a performance in New York City at the conclusion of the study term.

As Producer and Director
In addition to coaching, I will act as your producer and director and provide a pianist, venue, contract negotiation, publicity and networking, and showcases when available.

Duration and Sessions
As above, Private Study terms are a maximum of two weeks in length, during which time we will schedule three hours of instruction and/or rehearsal per day (Mondays through Fridays, unless otherwise agreed, inclusive of technical rehearsal(s) and performance date).
