Teaching Philosophy

Andrea’s teaching philosophy is grounded in the psychological connection between body and mind. She believes that authentic storytelling emerges from both creative and intellectual exploration, with the arts serving as a direct line of communication between the performer and the audience. Establishing a collaborative, trusting relationship with students is central to her approach.

Recognizing that performing can surface complex emotions and memories, Andrea incorporates somatic, psychological, and emotional alignment in her teaching. She encourages students to analyze characters through a psychological lens and to engage deeply in personal growth to become more connected artists and effective storytellers.

Her goal is to empower students to trust themselves, develop their own emotional awareness, and achieve effective and sustainable vocal production for a long life of healthy singing. By focusing on individual goals and overcoming mental and technical barriers, students can engage fully in the creative process and find themselves along the way.

Andrea is committed to staying current with emerging research and techniques in vocal anatomy, pedagogy, and the mind-body connection. She regularly attends workshops and collaborates with leading instructors to ensure her students receive the highest quality education.

All studio students are expected to treat one another with respect and kindness, creating a community rooted in equality and artistic expression.
