Hi! My name is Annie. I’m a professional vocalist, actor, and musical theatre instructor with over 20 years of vocal training and performance experience. I began studying voice at age six and have trained extensively in musical theatre, classical and contemporary vocal styles.

Why are we called to sing? We sing to commune with the depths and heights—the full range of life, but also the Life beyond the self. We channel something both ’of us’ and ‘beyond us.’ If we’re lucky, it is here we discover ecstasy and aliveness. Singing is alchemy. And all is welcome in the realm of song.

I am a doctoral candidate in Voice Performance and Pedagogy at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and have over 20 years of teaching experience in voice, piano, and music theory. I’ve worked with students of all ages and levels—from young beginners to college-level musicians and adult learners.

I am a professional lyric soprano with an international career in opera and symphonic repertoire, having performed at venues such as Carnegie Hall, Gran Teatre del Liceu, Opera Frankfurt, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, and Philharmonie de Paris. Before opera, I began as a child star in Brazil, singing jazz, pop, and bossa nova on national television.

I have had a lifelong fondness for music, science, and the aesthetic expression of emotion through sound. My Master of Music degree in Vocal Performance from Boston University serves as a hallmark of my enduring performance background in opera, art song, chamber music, church services, choral repertoire, and musical theatre.

I am a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and composer with over 15 years of teaching experience in music schools, high schools, and private instruction. Educated at London’s Trinity College of Music, I hold ABRSM Grade 8 certifications in singing, violin, and music theory, alongside advanced studies in piano and guitar.

I have been deeply involved with music for nearly 25 years. At the age of 12, I started private classical voice training with a professional coach. Music (specifically singing) has been a major part of my personality ever since. When I first started singing, I didn't have any money for professional lessons.

I am a passionate and dedicated music educator, vocal coach, and songwriter with a strong background in both music and academic training. I currently teach vocal performance, piano, and music theory, helping students develop strong technical foundations while also building confidence and personal expression.
