Singing Lesson

Private Singing lessons

Discover your authentic voice through a science-informed, personalized approach.

 
 
 

With over 15 years of teaching experience, I’ve seen one thing clearly: everyone can sing. Whether you’re stepping into your first lessons or looking to refine your voice, my goal is to help you develop a voice that feels natural, expressive, and healthy.

As a vocologist and experienced vocal coach, I combine scientific understanding of the voice with practical, individualized instruction. Every lesson is informed by the latest research on vocal technique, physiology, and healthy vocal habits, so you can confidently explore your range, artistry, and expression.

Why Take Lessons with Me?

  • Personalized, science-informed instruction: Your lessons are tailored to your unique voice, goals, and musical style, grounded in a clear understanding of vocal anatomy and function.

  • Holistic approach: We focus not just on pitch or technique, but on posture, breath, resonance, articulation, and mental barriers that may be affecting your singing.

  • Safe, supportive environment: Your voice is personal. Lessons are designed to be encouraging, affirming, and creatively inspiring.

Your Lessons, Your Music

 

I primarily teach contemporary music, working with styles that resonate with you—pop, musical theater, jazz, R&B, and more. Lessons are tailored to your musical interests and goals, blending healthy technique with expressive artistry. You’ll develop a voice that is both sustainable and authentic, ready to perform or simply enjoy singing with confidence.

What We’ll Work On

 

Each lesson combines technical foundation with creative application, covering:

  • Vocal Technique & Breath Support: Learn to engage your diaphragm and maintain healthy, sustainable vocal production.

  • Posture & Alignment: Optimize your physical setup for vocal ease and projection.

  • Pitch, Range & Intonation: Explore your full vocal range and develop control, accuracy, and expressive flexibility.

  • Vowel Shapes & Resonance: Shape your vowels and resonance to support clarity, tone, and style.

  • Ear Training & Musicality: Strengthen your listening skills, interval recognition, and phrasing.

  • Confidence & Expression: Learn to convey emotion and storytelling in your singing.
