I taught private voice instruction to middle school students in the Lewisville Independent School District in Texas.

Brent Woodall Foundation for Exceptional Children

I worked with children with autism and other developmental disabilities as an Assistant ABA Therapist at the Brent Woodall Foundation. I also taught a music class for a pre-k & kindergarten class. My main responsibilities were as the administrative assistant, but this job taught me to work with students with disabilities and unique learning needs. It also gave me an appreciation for teaching children with special needs.

I have taught voice instruction to students of all ages and backgrounds since 2010. www dot erinalcorn dot com "In Erin’s studio I have learned not only how to be a better singer and musician, but how to love being a singer and musician even more. She has taught me to understand why I make musical and technical changes so that I am capable of making them on my own in practice and in the future. I recommend Erin to any vocal student looking for a chance to grow in all aspects of vocal knowledge for any reason." - Amelia, 16-year-old soprano ​ "My family has had the pleasure of working with Erin over the last year. We moved from out of state and the Children's Chorus of Greater Dallas recommended Erin as a potential voice teacher. Without a doubt, she is the best voice coach we have ever had the pleasure of working with. She emphasises technique, proper breathing, diction, and enunciation, all the while greatly expanding our student's music repertoire. Our 14-year-old daughter was always prepared for auditions and performances. Furthermore, Erin is always on time, professional, and communicative. I would have no reservations recommending Erin to any voice student. She is the best!" - Parent Guardian of Rylyn, 14-year-old soprano ​ "Studying voice in Erin's studio has been a wonderful experience. Not only have I learned proper technique, but I have also learned how to express myself emotionally though singing. After every lesson I was motivated to go home, practice and was eager for my next lesson to come. Never once was I been unprepared for any sort of audition or recital while studying under Erin. She is a wonderful vocalist and an amazing teacher. I am so thankful to have been able to take lessons with Erin and I would highly recommend that any student, who is looking for a chance to grow vocally, take lessons with her." -Yashasvi, 13-year-old soprano ​ ​ "This year my 16-year old and 13-year-old daughter both started taking lessons with Erin and although they came in at very different levels, I am floored with how much they have each grown as singers—in their technique, artistry, and confidence. Erin was able to pinpoint their individual needs and help them each improve in a way that made them enjoy singing even more. My 13-year-old had never before Erin found a teacher who could keep her motivated. Beyond what she taught them, Erin is a wonderful advocate for my daughters and encourages and supports them through their auditions, performances, and competitions. I am so thankful for her impact on my daughters’ lives." - Parent Guardian of Amelia and Charlotte ​ "Erin is truly an amazing vocalist and gifted teacher. It has been so exciting to see the vocal skills and confidence of our young singer blossom under her guidance and coaching. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a professional voice instructor." - Parent Guardian of Brooke, 12-year-old soprano ​ "My seven year old son had the opportunity to work with Erin for a year discovering his voice and learning to love music. Every lesson was fun for him and he was eager to go back and sing with Erin. She is patient and encouraging with her youngest students. He was so proud to overcome his nervousness to perform with much older students. He said it was Erin who gave him that confidence! He is eager to learn more about music and has requested to take piano lessons. Thank you Erin for instilling the love of music in my little boy!" - Parent Guardian of Andy, 7-years-old "Working with Erin is a joy. She is great at making me feel comfortable and confident in taking on new and challenging repertoire, and she is able to effectively convey her teaching message in multiple memorable ways. I recommend her services heartily!" - Bruce, adult
