Judith has been teaching voice in Vancouver for 20 years. She understands that each student learns differently and she uses the knowledge gained from years of studying and performing along with her exceptional intuitive abilities, to diagnose and eradicate vocal problems. Using sound principles of classical voice technique but with a unique twist that allows for the flexibily of tone which contemporary styles demand, she gives her students the ability to sing night after night in often less than ideal circumstances without damaging their voices. This has led a wide variety of singers to her door. From Sarah Mclachlan to Austin Winkler (Lead singer for the rock band Hinder) from Avril Lavigne to Moka Only (Swollen Members) to members of American touring companies of Rent, all have benefited from her training. She has worked with many singers who have sustained vocal cord injuries or who are recovering from vocal cord surgery.

Judith attended Concordia University in Montreal and obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a major in voice, as well as Capilano College in North Vancouver where she received a degree in MusicTherapy. In addition, she studied privately for many years and took part in an extensive seminar in vocal health at Vancouver General Hospital. She taught for 4 years at Capilano College in North Vancouver, and accepted private students from Trebas Institute and The Columbia Academy of Music. She has been in-house vocal coach for Nettwerk Records for 15 years, working privately and in the studio with many of their artists.

Judith considers teaching voice a kind of calling. Her never-ending fascination with voice and her love of contemporary music is always apparent. She loves what she does and generously passes on this knowledge and enthusiasm to her students.

"As a teacher, I am the result of everything I have been through with my own voice, every teacher I have experienced, every gig and studio session I have done. I know what it’s like to have a teacher tell you to ‘sing from your diaphragm’ and have no idea what that really means. I know what it’s like to sing 6 nights a week and lose my voice by the third. I know what it’s like to hear back what I thought was a great take in the studio only to discover that in fact the pitch was not so great. I know what it’s like to sing live and not be able to hear a thing. Having had to work through all of these situations myself, I am able to relate personally to the problems that my students encounter and give them the benefit of my experience as a teacher and a singer, in dealing with these issues"
