Lessons

I’m offering limited lessons for the summer! This is a great time for a tune-up, for audition prep, or for starting something new. You can schedule in-person lessons with the button below–if you’re interested in online lessons, please contact me.

Who should take lessons
Anyone who wants to learn more about singing! I have worked with students who literally (and I am using this word correctly) never sang a note before starting lessons with me, students who are preparing for theater and college/grad school auditions, students who are pursuing or who have completed college music degrees, professional singers, and everything in between. I now only work with adult students (I truly love you, teens, but have had to narrow my focus).

I’m an LGBTQ+ ally and welcome everyone into my studio. I have worked with many trans and non-binary singers, and I am happy to help you explore and find the voice that best represents you. Singing lessons will help your speaking voice, but if targeted speaking voice work is your main interest, I can recommend speech-language pathologists who are experienced in working with transgender clients.

What happens during a voice lesson
A voice lesson will generally involve vocal exercises and work on repertoire. With many students who are just starting out or who are not accustomed to technical exploration of the voice, vocal exercises will take up the majority or all of the lesson time for the first several lessons.

Voice lessons may also include theory, ear training/musical memory development, rhythm exercises, diction, text analysis, dramatic interpretation, anatomy, physical relaxation, and more–all depending on the student’s needs.

Recording and note-taking are strongly encouraged!

Location
Anywhere you happen to be, for online lessons. In-person lessons take place at Unity Church-Unitarian in St Paul, in the Summit-Dale area.
