Meet The Team

A Note from Eric:
It’s a funny story: Trina actually contacted me, seeking my guidance in her own journey toward reclaiming her singing voice. But, within minutes of our first lesson, I found myself marveling at how healthy her instrument was. It was astounding. Her command over her breath, in particular, was enviable. For the first time in 15 years of teaching, I requested that my student become my teacher. In the time since, we’ve developed a mutually edifying partnership, sharing our insights with each other for the betterment of ourselves as vocalists (my technique has never been better) and for our students (my students rave about their sessions with Trina). While Trina is not a certified AApproach Instructor, her teachings are 100% in alignment with the principles of the AApproach Vocal Training Method. An endorsement from me is not easy to come by, but I have the greatest confidence in her work.
