Use visualizations to help you when you are singing! No matter what the note, high of low... aim it out in front of you like an arrow - you will be amazed at how this works!
Repetition is key and if you miss the mark to start... so what. The more you aim, the sooner you will hit your mark ( I like to loop one section at least 6 times or more) and then the more confident you become, which results in greater joy while singing!

"Merrily has a way of getting to the root of a voice and carefully nurtures it into full bloom in a playful and empowering way!"-Sarah

The system Merrily teaches gives singers the tools needed to create a healthy foundation as well as a way to avoid the vocal strain or burnout that can come from singing incorrectly.

Singing is effortless when you are grounded in solid technique and connected to your “authentic” voice.

I have several students who are terrified to sing in front of anyone they are close to.

I would just like to share that this is actually not that unusual as singing is a very vulnerable and personal thing. Often times in life we feel like the people closest to us... Will judge us the most!

In order to shift this experience it is important for the singer to feel safe.

I love working with people to help them transform from their fears to a new level of trust and comfort :)
