Learn to enjoy singing in many styles from a Berklee trained teacher
Students of all ages can gain a ton of benefits from studying voice. From improving vocal range, to projection, to boosted musicality, I can help you reach all kinds of goals. We can work on songs from just about any genre to help you gain confidence and a better understanding for the music you love to listen to. If you already love to sing, I love coaching my students to get the most out of a performance, from breath and tonal control, to physicality and emotion.

About Devin K.
5.0
(6)
I have been involved in music my entire life, and I love sharing my knowledge with others. I began taking vocal lessons from the age of 9 and have studied a variety of genres such as Musical Theatre, Jazz, Classical, Rock and Roll, and Folk. I studied Voice Performance at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA.
I have been playing the violin for 24 years, and was classically trained from the start. I was involved in the Award-winning Sacramento Youth Symphony for several years before heading to Berklee. I was a member of Berklee's Contemporary Orchestra, and was involved in string quartets, Celtic ensembles, and led my own band. During college I branched out to fiddle styles such as Jazz, Celtic, and Folk, and became known for my improvisational ability.
Since moving to the West Coast, I have performed at venues including House of Blues Sunset, The Viper Room, The Hard Rock Cafe, The Pasadena Playhouse, and more. I am an accomplished songwriter, utilizing voice, violin, and ukulele in my arrangements.
My vocal instruction style varies based on the genre my students wish to pursue, and I have had excellent results. One student went on to tour in the international company of Bring It On - The Musical.
As a violin teacher, I instruct in the traditional style, and highly believe in a solid basis in reading music. As a fiddle teacher, I teach both from the page and by rote, and focus heavily on rhythm. I am happy to provide references from current students, if needed.

This is long overdue. Devin has been patient with my kids and they are sounding a lot better! We love it when she plays a tune to demonstrate for the kids. It fills the house with wonderful music. Looking forward to having the kids play like her in the future. Thanks Devin!

Devin is really an awesome instructor for my 6 year old kid. She is very patient and really knowledgeable. Ideal for getting the basics right for starters and kids. Purchasing long-term packages with her now.
