Patty promotes radical acceptance and leads with a student-centered, science-backed approach in the voice studio. She teaches styles ranging from musical theatre to classical to pop/rock to country to jazz/R&B. She believes that all singing is story-telling and sustainable technique should always support the emotions of the sung text. She is confident that she can help each of her students find their most authentic voice.
