Private lessons with top Singing instructors near Pasadena, CA

Learn to move through vocal exercises with ease while crafting your voice, tone, and style. But most importantly, learn to take your voice and turn it into SONG. Singing songs is where most of my training has come from and I’m a firm believer that singing the tunes you love will teach your voice how best to interpret notes, follow intervals, explore dynamics, and gain control. Don’t just sing, PERFORM.

I teach classical voice as my standard practice. I'm so grateful for what I was taught and love sharing this beautiful technique with others.

I've worked with students who came in struggling to find pitch and they've left with powerful voices. I've worked with professionals looking to open a new opportunity and they did. This isn't rocket science, there's no secret formula. But, I do work very hard to help you discover the unique and powerful qualities of your voice. This and proper technique are key. You can include other instruments in these sessions.

Students will be lead through weekly exercises to strengthen vocal stamina and breath control. Classical technique will be instilled with positive reinforcement, practice and correct repertoire choices. Elise is ready to help students find their inner voice and learn the magic of opera!
