Description

Specialties

Private voice instruction is an opportunity for students to experiment, learn, and grow toward healthy, successful singing. From first-​time singers, to long-​term students of the voice, we work to create a smart, inquisitive, comfortable and safe environment that encourages technically productive and creatively fulfilling music making.

Our approach to technique is based in a comprehensive understanding of anatomy (a singer’s instrument) and the way the body works. This approach uses simple concepts that are applied to the different functions within varied styles of music (pop, rock, jazz, musical theater, opera etc.)

Our students represent a broad spectrum of singers, from professional musicians who are looking to hone their craft to amateurs looking to explore their creative side. Some students have studied voice through masters programs at schools of music while others have no formal training. Our voice lessons have something special and unique to offer all.
