Hi! My name is LeAnna and I am a performing artist and teacher in the San Francisco bay area. I am 28 years old, live in Oakland, CA and graduated from San Francisco State University where I received my BA in Classical Music, my BA in Dance, with a focus in choreography, and a minor in Multi-Cultural Theatre. I work as an actor, singer, dancer, choreographer, Zumba instructor and teacher. I love the work that I do and teaching the performing arts is a great joy in my life.
So, just a little bit about me- My father was a saxophone jazz-playing musician who made music an important part of my life. I began piano when I was 7 years old and basically self-taught until I reached the university where I had some formal training. I fell into singing via theatre in high school and picked up trombone my junior where I played marching band and jazz band (some of the best times of my life!). Studying music at SFSU was very satisfying. Now, I enjoy working as an independent and local...

I am a soprano with a degree in vocal performance and I am looking to build a fun and supportive studio in the Bay Area! A little bit about myself first: I have been singing since I was six years old. I joined choir first and then started taking private lessons when I was thirteen. I knew that I wanted to be a singer from the time I was a kid and never looked back! When I was twenty, I moved to Orange County to study classical vocal performance at the University of California at Irvine. I learned a deep appreciation for the music we studied and developed into an effective and artistic communicator through the art of vocal performance. I love teaching because I honestly believe there is no greater feeling in the world than giving a performance that truly moves your audience, and helping others in this process is always extremely rewarding. At UCI I participated in the opera productions, gave several vocal recitals and attended summer programs where I worked with some of the...

I love to sing, and I have a passion for teaching students to sing well. I have sung in choruses all my life, and have been inspired by fine conductors and great composers. I am certain that music enlivens my life like nothing else, and it can do that for everyone. Whether you sing in the shower, or in the choir, or with a few friends, or in an opera, you can find your song.

Hello! Music has consumed me from a very young age, and has been a defining force every since. I started singing in Kindergarten, and began playing the viola, cello, and saxaphone in middle school. During high school, while performing in every vocal and band solo and ensemble I could, it became very clear that I wanted to pursue music in college. I attended Hastings College, a private liberal arts college in the heart of Nebraska, where I received my Bachelor's of Music in Vocal Performance. During college, and since, I have had a private music studio teaching students piano, voice, and a little guitar from ages 5 to 87, so I have seen a great deal of talent over the years. I enjoy all ages and genders, but having been a male in music I am aware of the stigma young males have regarding music. Being a veteran and a musician has allowed me to incorporate characteristics from both in my approach to teaching, and in showing its very cool to be a male in music!
