During the COVID-19 pandemic, I will be offering online workshops.
The great news is that I’m now available for workshops anywhere in the world!
Workshops can be:
for a school class, student club, choir or ensemble, community arts group, private studio, etc.
for any age. I have worked with K-12 students and adults of all ages and stages.
in the areas of Music, Drama, Creative Writing, or the arts in general!
tailor-made to the needs and interests of the group.
Rates
