Kirtland AFB, NM Singing Lessons

I put this subject here because I wanted to be clear that I am willing to work with all singers, experienced or just starting out, from people who are simply interested in how their voice works to those looking for professional level training. I am also happy to work on different styles, including basics of jazz and pop, as well as musical theater and classical music.

I want to help you make your voice shine! I have 14+ Years of vocal training in Speech Level Singing, Belt and Classical styles. I am a Senior in the Commercial Music program with voice as my instrument.

I'm classically-trained in voice with a versatile sound and style. I've an extensive background in performing and teaching. I'll show you how to expressed musical themes through tempo, phrasing, volume and dynamics; perform as a soloist or with ensembles. I'll help you through the challenging parts of your song selection . As we approach the conception of music and arts together we will enhances your ability to focus and perform better anywhere!

I use a combination of classical bel canto technique for foundational structure and concepts from the Estill method to assist with popular singing techniques. I have an excellent diagnostic ear for vocal timbre, classification, tensions, and other vocal maladies. I use imagery and concrete anatomy maps to help my students fully grasp singing concepts. I help my students explore the full gamut of vocal colors so that they can express whatever emotion serves them and the music!

Tell me what you are looking to achieve from your singing.

Every lesson I teach is tailored to the individual needs of the singer, both vocally and artistically. Students will receive a vocal workout specific to their voice type and vocal issues. Additionally, I offer students training for auditions, songwriting, recording technique, and performances. Past students h ave gone on to perform on broadway, national tours and American Idol.

Since she began singing as a soloist 15 years ago, and offering lessons more recently, Jessica has geared instruction toward each student’s learning style, personality and goals, keeping music in perspective as both a stress reliever and a potential area of achievement. An introductory lesson ensures that the student and teacher are a good match. Jessica focuses on good vocal technique through vocal exercises, and helps the student select pieces they'll enjoy, from popular to classical music.

Currently working as a music and vocal instructor and song-writer with Grammy-Award-winner producer Gordon Williams (Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill...), I am specialised in helping students find their voice, correct some issues and get ready for auditions (the Voice), live performances, or recording sessions. My sessions are designed to address each students' needs, so we only study the songs you love, in any genre. I use piano, or backing tracks and can teach you how to write your own songs.

A musician and an actor willing to train singers of any genre and any age! Specializing in musical theatre, keeping the voice safe while remaining vulnerable is my main goal when coaching- as well as tailoring my lessons to the musical style and aesthetic unique to the student. Lessons largely focus on breathing and resonance while the student and I can build a repertoire useful for whatever artistic endeavors they choose to pursue- whether it's a songbook for audition use or a composition of the students'. As a songwriter and composer I also offer to help singer/songwriters develop new music and a unique sound. If you're looking to explore your musicianship and creativity in anything from Broadway to bluegrass or if you have questions, please feel free to shoot me a message!
