Wedding Music

Although I can learn and perform most songs requested, this is a partial list of songs I can perform. Because I have taught Private Voice and Choir for many years, I can sing in any genre of music.....Classical, Country, Jazz, Celtic, Gospel, Contemporary Christian, Big Band, Broadway and Worship. Additionally, I have some love songs in Italian and French that I can perform. According to your desires for your reception, many of these are great for the Reception as well.
And, I can also accommodate those "special" arrangements to make a specific music dream come True! ~Rita
