I have taught voice lessons for about 10 years to children and adults of all ages, abilities, and musical tastes. I received my Master of Music degree in Voice Performance from Florida State University, and a degree in English from Knox College. Most recently, I sang as a soprano soloist at Carnegie Hall, as part of a performance of Haydn's "Lord Nelson Mass."

Students have come to me to improve their singing in many different styles, from pop music to musical theater to classical. I have taught experienced musicians as well as people who have never taken a lesson before.

Whether you're looking to improve your karaoke chops, prepare a solo piece for church, or just try something fun and different, I would encourage you to give voice lessons a shot. I truly enjoy teaching and would love to help you achieve your individual vocal goals!

I am a professional musician who enjoys helping young people reach their musical goals. I perform regularly as a solo act and play with a band at various hotels in Chicago. I went to Millikin University in Decatur for music where I toured the country and played and sang in the top ensembles. I also studied at the Music Industry Workshop in Chicago for music production and engineering. My goal is to help you learn the songs you love and show you how to make the technical side of music more fun than you ever imagined!

My name is Brian, and I am a graduate of Clarke University in Dubuque, Iowa. I am originally from Mount Prospect, Illinois, and moved to Dubuque to study Music Education. I have had original choral work published with Alliance Publications, Inc. (API), and had performances by the Singing City Choir of Philadelphia, Society of Composers, Inc. (SCI), as well as various ensembles at Clarke University (Brass Ensemble, Collegiate Singers, Schola, Cantabile, and the C. U. Jazz Ensemble).

Outside of school, I performed with a cover band based in Cascade, Iowa, and a jazz combo in Dubuque. In these ensembles I played keyboard, trumpet, bass, and sang a varied repertoire (rock, alternative, folk, blues, swing, bossa nova, etc.) I was also employed in Dubuque as a sales associate at Kephart’s Music Center, a show choir vocal coach at Mazzuchelli Catholic Middle School, a music librarian at Clarke University, and a substitute teacher for Dubuque Community School District and Holy Family...

I am focused on creating a comfortable music-making environment so that my students can explore their potential at a pace that matches their goals. I push when I can tell my student is ready for it, and hold off when I can tell he or she needs a little bit of time to process. I love working with beginners as much as more advanced students. My goal is simply to help each person grow from his or her starting point.

To give you a bit of an understanding about my background, I received a dual Honors BA in Music/French and International Studies from St. Louis University in 2002. In 2006, I completed my Masters of Music in Vocal Performance at Washington University in St. Louis where my studies included vocal pedagogy and four semesters of a singing actor’s workshop. I began teaching all ages immediately after completion of my Masters degree, and performed locally and regionally. I taught voice lessons at St. Louis University for 3 semesters in addition to working privately...

I started my journey with singing in high school by participating in the school musicals and different choir ensembles. When I got to college I started taking private lessons and music classes for fun until I realized this is my passion. Then I started my journey with really learning the voice as an instrument and how it works. I am a vocal scientist at heart believing you will go a long way as long as you know how to grow.

I then went on to get my degree at VanderCook College of Music where they teach nothing but music education so I was able to learn all the band and orchestral instruments on top regular classes and voice lessons. I took the time to study privately with our percussion professor to learn rhythms and with our sight singing and ear training professor to further develop my ear and knowledge. All in all I have been studying the voice for seven years and counting. I do all this so that I could pass that experience down to you.

I feel there is a great deal of talent in the youth of today, and that it is my job to provide a knowledge and understanding of how to best use that talent. I try my best to provide a comfortable atmosphere to help my students to develop, refine and heighten their talents. I love to teach performance techniques in voice, music, dance, and various other fine arts activities. I have been an aspiring performer my entire life and have enjoyed every learning experience I have come across. It is because of this that I feel I can help you reach your full potential. It is my goal to share my passion for performing arts with others so that they might become excited about their potential and future. I hope to empower others with the knowledge of using there instrument properly and efficiently so that they may utilize their talents to their fullest potential. Through lessons with me my students will enjoy and flourish in using their talents and become confident in doing so. Both learning...

I'm a classically trained singer taking a hard left at the corner of classical technique and real-world application. I studied classical voice for undergrad, but I started work in pop and jazz voice during my Masters degree. As a result, I've turned out to be a very versatile instructor, well-versed in multiple genres and able to teach healthy technique to all.

I recently graduated with a BFA in Acting from the theatre program at Syracuse University (SU). During my time there, I studied at the Globe Theatre in London, in addition to spending a semester taking classes with Broadway and TV/Film Casting agents in New York City. I've done a few musicals in regional theaters in New York. And currently, I am a working actor in and around the city of Chicago. I have experience music directing, directing, choreographing, and teaching acting and voice throughout the year/summer for an elementary/middle school theatre program called Bravo Performing Arts Academy in Oak Park, IL. In the fall/winter, I music direct and teach private voice lessons for an adult a cappella group in Chicago. I studied voice, music theory, piano, acting, and dance within the SU theatre program and have been teaching for over 6 years. In addition, I taught music and theatre to special needs adults for all four years of college.

I am a singer/songwriter based out of Chicago, Illinois. After graduating from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in 2008 with a degree in Vocal Performance and Theatre, I began performing on Cruise Ships with some fellow IU Straight No Chaser alums. I then switched over to perform as a solo guitarist/vocalist onboard the ships for 4 years. My dad was the choir director at our church for 30 years, which is where I got my start, and eventually I took over the youth choir programs and directed 3 choirs grades K-12. While my focus in college was classical vocal training, I was raised on musical theatre, and now write pop music. I believe there is a proper way to sing, and it can be applied to any and all voice styles. I have conducted seminars through Hart and Henry Talent Agency to help singers cross from more traditional musical theatre styles to the more current pop/rock musicals that are taking broadway by storm. I love to work with the students to achieve the...

I am a classically trained singer that also has extensive experience in musical theater and acting. Currently finishing my Masters of Music Degree in Voice Performance from the Chicago College of Performing Arts, I have performed in various operas this past year, including Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, Leonard Bernstein’s Candide, and Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. I have studied voice for the last 15 years, and received my Bachelor of Music Degree in Voice Performance from the University of Central Florida. As a professional singer, my performances have spanned opera, art song, jazz, music theater, and contemporary. I also have studied French, German, and Spanish to help aid in learning classical music. I believe in a strong technical foundation when singing, but I also feel that it is important to have fun, and enjoy the music that you are making.
