Thank you for your interest in voice lessons! I am a singer who teaches and performs in and around San Francisco. I have a strong passion for teaching voice and sharing my knowledge of singing and the musical arts with others. I believe with the right instruction and determination anyone has the ability to sing!

I am a classically trained singer, which means my teaching will involve classical techniques. The techniques and skills I teach can be used for various singing genres such as musical theater, pop, rock, opera, jazz, blues and gospel singing. I believe voice lessons are fun, and also beneficial for improving music skills, expanding the range, developing vocal stamina and quality, and increasing confidence.

I completed my Bachelors of Music at the University of Washington in Seattle, and my Masters of Arts in Vocal Performance at San Jose State University. I have been teaching voice for 7 years throughout the Seattle, San Jose, and San Francisco areas. My students...

Who Am I

I am a fabulous teacher. Really! As a member of NATS (National Organization of Teachers of Singing), I hold my teaching skills to a high standard. No matter what kind music you like to sing, I can help you become more comfortable and have lots of fun! Maybe you want to experiment with pop, jazz or rock? Maybe you like current Broadway hits? Come visit me. Lets play with your favorites, and enjoy! My primary focus is classical, which is the foundation for all healthy singing.

I just directed a comic opera, The Old Maid & the Thief at my university. It's in English, so have no fear. Here is the YT link: http://youtu.be/tml9W5DJ4eM

I teach in San Francisco, and in Belmont, CA.

I love singing. It fills my life with transcendent joy as nothing else. I thrive on performing. It feeds my soul to offer my gifts to my audience. I know that for a few hours I have transported them from their daily lives to another world just by using my voice and commitment to the text,...

Hi! My name is Jessica and I would love to be your voice and/or piano teacher! My relationship with music started at a young age. I have been singing since the age of 9 when I joined Contra Costa Children's Choir and have studied classical voice for 13 years. It was around the same time I began singing that I began studying the piano and continued my studies for 7 years. I went on to receive my Bachelor's degree in Music at Mannes College of Music in New York City and finished my education at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where I received my Masters. I graduated from SFCM in 2009 and have been performing and teaching ever since. I am an active performer in the Bay Area, where I am currently a member of the new music ensemble, Volti and also have performed with Opera on Tap, Urban Opera, San Francisco Baroque Opera, and Bay Area Summer Opera Theater Institute (BASOTI). As a member of Volti, I attend bi-annual choral retreats where I have been privileged to teach...

I was born in New York, then moved back to Istanbul, Turkey where I was raised. I have started to sing in 1983 with various choirs, in Istanbul, Turkey. I have performed with the prestigious TRT (Turkish Radio Television) Istanbul Youth Polyphonic Choir for 4 years. With the choir I had appeared on regular TV concerts, live concerts and radio recordings .I have a B.A. degree in "Advertising & Marketing Research" (emphasis on Creative Writing) from Istanbul University. I also have a teaching certificate from the University of Cambridge, CELTA (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults). I have a B.M. (Bachelors of Music) "Vocal Performance" (emphasis on Opera). I graduated from SFSU in 2005. I have performed with various ensembles, groups and choirs at SFSU since 1998. While I was at SFSU my academic success was recognized by Golden Key International Honor Society and I became a member in 2000. I taught Turkish Singing class at Mendocino Middle Eastern Music and Dance Camp...

I am a classically trained soprano with a special passion for folk songs. I also love to work with my vocal students on musical theater and pop styles.

Having been a performing musician from the age of 10, I have experience in several instruments and almost every genre of music. With a bachelor's degree in flute performance, and most of a master's in the same (to be completed in the next year), my primary focus has been on classical music in flute, with an emphasis in orchestral playing and contemporary music.

I began focusing on singing a few years after flute, to accompany my guitar playing, and began writing songs in the pop/folk genre. I have been singing both solo and with choirs for the last 10 years. The human voice and the flute are remarkably similar in the way the body is used to produce sound, and I use very similar techniques when focusing on breath control and support for both.

I have been teaching privately for the last 4 years, and it is joy. It is important to me that my students enjoy their lessons and improve each week. I do stress that all my students learn to read notes and rhythms, and when 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.

Learning to play the piano, from the very beginning, or picking up where you left off in the past, will bring a spark to your life. Whether you want to play for yourself or some friends, or want to get on track to becoming a concert pianist, music will enrich your life.

My students develop an appreciation for music of the Renaissance up through the 21st century. They are willing to delve into exciting territory while learning to read music, establishing confidence in their own musicianship. They discover the music within themselves, while learning the technique necessary to be the best musicians they can...

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 teach- over 14 years of teaching piano and voice students, I know that music is one of the most fulfilling and joyful activities human beings engage in. I have helped many students, of all ages and abilities, to experience greater satisfaction from their practice and/or performance, and to experience an excited intellectual curiosity to learn more.

I was originally a classical pianist, but in 1997 I began study of jazz arranging and piano. Following this, I spent 8 years as a touring musician in various bands, traveling mostly around the eastern half of the country. With the dream of writing orchestral music, I then returned to school at Jacobs School of Music (Indiana University) to study classical music composition. I got the opportunity to write for large ensembles there, and then became so interested in experimental music that I decided to come to Mills College, where I am currently teaching as a T.A. and continuing composition study.

Part of my professional...
