Derek Graydon is one of Los Angeles’ most sought after singing teachers. Derek’s students have worked in productions of «Wicked,» «Chicago,» «The Lion King,» «Phantom of the Opera,» and countless other musicals on Broadway as well as national tours.

Graydon has performed on Broadway in «Do Re Mi» and «Oliver.» He has also performed with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and with Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

After his performance career, he taught privately for many years in New York City and London. He was also on the opening staff of AMDA in New York City and a professor at ALRA in London.

Derek believes singing is only sustained sound and is merely an extension of the speaking voice. He specializes in eliminating «breaks» and healing early-​stage vocal nodes caused by incorrect singing through correct singing. Derek also works on breath control, freedom in the voice, extending range and audition preparation.
