Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Star, ID

Singing is one of the most wonderful gifts we've been given and I believe that we should all have the opportunity to express ourselves through music! I've been teaching for 5 years and am well-versed in a variety of styles. I have performed in operas, musicals, and contemporary performing groups, and feel comfortable teaching in all of the above-listed genres. I began singing and taking lessons as a child and am comfortable teaching young children, as well as adults! I'm currently finishing a Doctorate in Voice from Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. I can't wait to meet you and get started!

Hi, there!

My name is Sarah-Kate, and I have been teaching vocal lessons for many years. My goal is to make learning fun and productive. I know that singing in front of someone can cause anxiety, so I aim to make my lessons as laid-back and stress-free as possible (while still learning!). I tell my students that their lessons are a "judgement-free zone."

I teach proper singing technique (including breathing, posture, tonality, etc.) and how to read music if the student doesn't already know. The styles I teach run the gamut from pop to musical theater to classical. Especially for younger/beginning students, I like to let them choose what they'd like to sing (while offering guidance if necessary).

I have taught people from age five up through adults. Whether you want to be the next American Idol or just sound better in the shower, I'm your teacher!

I have a degree in music (voice and cello) with additional certification in music therapy. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Everything I know about singing is breathing

I am a creative and innovative instructor who loves helping each student find their voice and pursue their unique interests musically.  I completed my Masters in Music at Northwestern University in 2015, where I sought to create and present exciting multimedia recitals that combined classical music with other art forms. I believe one of the most important things we can do as musicians is connect music to our larger experiences, and, in my lessons, I help students form a strong technical and theoretical foundation as well as connect to the deeper meanings and connections of songs. For the past 3 years, I have taught voice and piano lessons with Flatts and Sharpe Music Company in Chicago and have extensive experience teaching online lessons.

I love working with all types of students, whether they’re preparing for college auditions, just beginning in singing, or only looking to sing for fun, and I also have experience with students with special needs. Please contact me through this website if you would like lessons, and I will respond within a day!
