Hello!  My name is Louise, and I have a vast amount of teaching experience in diverse subjects.  I am primarily, a performer and voice teacher.  My bachelor's degree is in vocal performance; I have over 2 decades of experience singing vocal solos, choral music, performing musical theatre roles, and competing in auditions and contests.  I have over ten years experience teaching private voice lessons and directing church choral programs.  I love to sing and help others meet their performance and audition goals!

I also have almost 10 years experience as an educator in public schools.  I hold a master's degree in special education, and worked in classrooms with students with intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, and behavioral disorders.  This experience gives me an edge that allows me to modify and personalize each lesson based on student demeanor and ability.  

I am also an online English teacher (native speaker).  I hope to make learning English fun and practical based on your goals and purposes for learning.  I use a combination of methods including music-based activities.

Learning or perfecting skills can often feel intimidating and challenging at times.  In each personalized lesson, it is my goal that you feel encouraged and appreciated for the unique singer or learner you are. I will give you the tools you need to become a confident and composed performer and to reach your goals as a student.  I will provide fun and interactive exercises that help you master the basics of breath, posture, tone, diction, and the foundations of musicianship.  Students will learn how to prepare a song and how to present a song in dramatic and interpretive form.  Students will learn how to prepare for auditions and competitions (choral, solo, theatre role, etc.), and how to overcome stage fright and other challenges that are unique to live performance.    I use a variety of teaching tools such as physical movement, imagery, and visual aids.  I specialize in classical singing, musical theatre, and the jazz/blues sound.   My goal is for you to enjoy singing and to meet your goals, whether you want to just sing at home for your family or land a leading role in a musical!

Louise was great! She made my daughter feel comfortable during the lessons and more confident going into her performance this weekend!! Thank you Louise!

I've enjoyed learning getting better strengthening my vocals

I love Louise. she is helping me with intonation, pitch, sight singing, ear training. I mostly sing with a church choir but her instruction has really helped me. 

Louis is a wonderful teacher and is extremely patient (which is wonderful since this is my first time trying to sing). She makes her instructions clear and helps me understand (and breaks it down if I don't). She is an absolute joy to work with.

Louise was so patient with me and made me feel very comfortable.

Louis is a great teacher very patient teacher. She has a ton of experience and is an absolute pleasure to work with. 

Ms Louise is nice and helpful. She knows how to help me improve my voice. This is my first lesson and it was a great experience.

She's so patient and understanding! Looking forward to seeing what we will accomplish

Louise is an amazing teacher that can really help you reach your goals.

It was wonderful! She was very pleasant and helpful. I need to get back to singing in choir and will need quite a bit of practice to get back there. I need her help to practice effectively.

Louise is a 5 star coach who helps her students reach their goals and potential.  My grandson has improved hand over fist since taking lessons from Louise.  I can't wait to report how he does in auditions as he prepares for the school play later this month!  Louise you ROCK!

Louise listened to what I wanted to learn and was prepared for the first lesson. She made me feel at ease immediately, and I am looking forward to our next lesson.
