Singing

Have you been told you are too old to sing? Not talented? Tone deaf? Singing is for EVERYONE, and I can prove it to you. You'll leave your first lesson feeling empowered .

I am the teacher for singers who don't want a teacher to be teacher-y (but who still want to learn to sing good and stuff). I can teach you online  (but you'll miss out on my aging, sassy cats) 

I want you to laugh as you learn, and love love love the results you’ll get .  I understand what what it's REALLY about- expression and fun, not judgement . Vocal exploration that's 100% customized .  And that includes acting and speaking voice as well!

I am known as patient, funny, and no-nonsense! An "un-teachery" teacher that uses plain language to get results for you VERY quickly.
Even in the first lesson, I'll get you making sounds easily. As you progress, you'll be amazed at the power and consistency that comes out when you work on your songs, and perform them!

Molly has such great energy and knows how to connect and make lessons relevant. She’s done a great job with my teen. I would recommend her for students of all ages. 

My daughter's first class with Molly was terrific. She was high energy and engaging and did a great job. Even in our first class, she dove right in going through speech therapy exercises. I would recommend Molly to anyone looking for someone with solid technical expertise.

Molly does an incredible job with our Samantha.  She's only 9 and this is her first voice lesson - but she looks forward to her lessons - and comes out beaming afterwards.  Thank you for being so patient with Sammi, Molly.  She will most definitely be continuing her weekly lessons after this first 5-Lesson trial run.

Molly is energetic and fun while still being a very effective teacher. If you're looking for a low judgement, encouraging, and upbeat environment she's perfect. 

Great intro. Molly made me feel comfortable and I definitely learned from her. Looking forward to the next one!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my vocal lessons with Molly so far! I have only had three lessons so far and already feel a huge transformation in my voice. She is great at teaching and making you feel comfortable, especially as a newbie myself. Highly recommend taking vocal lessons with Molly!

Molly is an amazing person and instructor. She takes time to understand your personal needs and desired outcomes and makes sure you develop those areas. I’m very grateful and thankful for all her fantastic support. I noticed impactful improvement from day 1. Plus if you’re looking to have fun while learning, Molly is the right person to take lessons with.

Very welcoming teacher.  She allows you to make mistakes and feel very comfortable while you learn.  Molly has great energy while teaching and appears to love teaching her students since she is so involved in the material being taught.  Loved her as my first ever voice teacher.  Recommend her especially for new beginners in learning to sing.

Molly has a gift for teaching, especially children. My 6 year old daughter loved her first online acting class. Molly had a wonderful way of introducing new concepts in a fun and engaging way, at my daughter's level, and kept her interest the entire time.

Great teacher, puts you at ease, makes lessons so much fun! highly recommend

I have been a instrumentalist for the past 8 years and recently wanted to improve upon my vocal skills, within the first one hour lesson with Molly I could not only hear but feel the difference in my voice and tonality. I've had a lot of private music teachers and she was was by the the most energetic and fun teacher to work with. She gave me skills to take back and work on, I look forward to working with Molly again!
