My mission is to help students reach their fullest potential as singers and to build their confidence in the process. Lessons focus on each student as an individual and can encompass anything from vocal technique and song repertoire to audition coaching and even recording sessions to help the students with a project or to help them simply hear the subtleties in their voice more clearly as they train and grow.

Vocal Technique covered includes:

Range Building, Tone & Color, Vocal and Musical Dynamics, Diction, Releasing the Jaw, Opening Up the Sound, Body Conditioning For Singers and finally, Breath Support*

*I teach breath support in a way most teachers do not. I help students gain strong abdominal muscles and teach them how to use them to sing with more power and control. Rather than releasing the belly (as most teachers recommend) I show students how to breathe into their backs and use all three lobes of the lungs (upper, middle, lower).

I've been teaching Singing for three years and have 13 years of professional singing experience. The curriculum I use is based on the wealth of music in my personal music library that is available for students to use. Students are also welcome to bring in their own sheet music.

She has a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance from Northern Arizona University (2016) and is pursuing her Master of Music degree in Opera Performance at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee (2018). Skills taught include: vocal technique, repertoire, musicianship, sight reading, audition preparation, role preparation, and an emphasis in an overall healthy style of vocalization in any genre. Alyssa teaches mainly musical theatre and classical repertoire.

I believe vocal training can be seen through the same lens as training for a sport. Your vocal cord/voice is the ball, your body is the player, your mind is the court. My goal is to help the singer bring connection to their voice, body, and mind so that each are working in harmony. As a basketball player has to pay attention to where the ball is and what is happening on the court, vocalists have to be aware of how their voice, body, and mind are interacting so that the sound being produced is safe and healthy for the vocal cords. I will help build up vocal technique, and mindfulness during lessons so that this harmony can be achieved. I will also individually tailor each lesson to fit the learning of each student so they can begin to develop and strengthen musical and life skills.
