Classical Voice with Ariel E.

I'm a vocalist originally from San Francisco, California. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Santa Clara University and a Masters of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Redlands. I have taught music and voice for the past eight years. I work with each student's individual timbre, helping them release tension, improve technique, and develop confidence. Through it all, I try to instill joy in the practice. I have taught a variety of levels and styles. I did student teaching in London, England, started a choir and music education program in Suchitoto, El Salvador, taught Kindergarten through 5th grade music in the Bay Area, California, and served as the Ear Training Lab instructor at the University of Redlands. Performance has been a part of my life from a very early age. I sang with the Grammy winning ensemble the San Francisco Girls Chorus for eleven years, and was involved in musical theatre with the San Francisco Arts Education Project. I have performed with such groups as the San Francisco Opera, San Francisco Symphony, Tokyo Philharmonic, Opera Cultura, and the Lyric Theatre of San Jose. While my focus is in classical singing, I believe all styles benefit from having a solid technique. I work with all levels, Beginner to Advanced. If you are looking to improve your technique and musicality, and have fun while doing it, send me a message! I look forward to working with you!
