Singing and writing music have the power to soothe many different emotional issues by offering people a creative outlet to express themselves creatively. Not only that, but it can also promote relaxation, reduce stress and tension levels, as well as help people feel closer to themselves and others.

Grief

Singing and writing music can aid in healing grief by giving an outlet for emotions, as well as comforting. It also has the power to convey an encouraging message that may shift one’s perspective and give hope.

Emotional disorders

Music has the power to help soothe people with emotional disorders. Singing can help calm the mind and provide an escape from intrusive and negative thoughts. Writing music also offers the ability to express emotions that may be difficult to articulate verbally.

Sleep disorders

Singing can help to relax both body and mind in preparation for sleep, while music with a slower tempo induces an atmosphere of serenity. Writing music also provides an outlet to express feelings or emotions which might be interfering with getting adequate rest each night.

Trauma

Music can help individuals express and work through feelings and memories related to trauma, while providing an outlet for creative expression. It also offers comfort and a sense of safety. Music also brings hope and empowerment, giving individuals back control over their lives.

Low self-esteem

Singing and writing songs can be an incredibly effective way to heal negative feelings of self worth. People find it easier to process their emotions when engaged in such therapeutic activity; music serves as a welcome distraction from self-critical cycles.

Barbara is an accomplished singer and amazing voice teacher. I am a guitarist who dreaded singing. She has taken me from a complete novice to someone who is confident performing in public. I highly recommend her regardless of what stage you are vocally. She will make you a much better singer and you will enjoy the process.

Barbra is incredibly talented, knowledgeable and sweet! I’m super impressed with how far she has helped me in my journey because she knows how to teach, and explain the process! Within a month I was able to be on my breathe (I started from ground zero!), and produced quality tones! I couldn’t have been where I’m at without her!

Barbara is an extraordinary teacher, performer and person. As a student on the shy side, I’ve come to recognize my ability as a musician with confidence that only grows stronger each session. Barbara tailors her lessons to fit each student’s unique instrument, working closely with their goals whether that’s prep for a big concert or just for the enjoyment of singing. She has an impeccable ability to diagnose technique-related issues like muscle tension or posture, and further, provides immediate, clear instruction on how to overcome them. I must also add that Barbara is a joy to be around. She is warm, patient, encouraging and cares so much for the success of her students. I cannot reccommend Barbara enough! "

Barbara has helped our high school daughter tremendously with growing her voice, maturing her range and song interpretation and her presentation while singing for musical theater. Along with expert voice instruction she has provided other personalized attention pertaining to coaching and mentoring to address our daughter's confidence and mental preparedness for auditions. We are so appreciative of her candor and honesty in how she handles a teenage singer and brings the reality of the college experience (and the industry in general) to the forefront, while infusing the session with empathy, compassion, support and positive encouragement.

If you are looking for a vocal teacher who can teach any type of singing - rock, classical, musicals - look no further. I have had several vocal coaches and Barbara is by far the very best teacher I have ever had. She teaches the absolute correct techniques that will keep your voice healthy and keep you singing for a lifetime. Further, she can quickly resolve vocal problems, again with tried and true real vocal techniques. After singing for 15 years, she quickly resolved my vocal issues and has taught me the correct way to sing. My voice has improved dramatically. To boot, she is a professional singer herself! And she has a masters degree in voice! A lot of teachers are want-a-be's, but she is the real deal. Plus, she is extremely nice.
