Piano with Jessica M.

Dearborn School of Music

As a voice teacher, my first task is always to find out what my students musical goals are. From this point I can choose music and exercises that will help to achieve those goals. My voice classes consist of breathing techniques and vocal warm ups, and then choosing a song to work through, and going through the music step by step. When teaching a new piece, I like to run through the notes and rhythms first, then the words, and finally vocal technique and overall singing presence. My goal is to properly teach the music you are working on, while also having fun and really feeling the music! I teach voice lessons to students of all ages and levels of experience. I specialize in operatic/classical style singing, but also have experience with contemporary styles. There are a lot of layers to singing, and when put together can really create something beautiful.

Littlefield Presbytarian Church

As a soprano in the Littlefield Presbyterian Church worship chorus, I gained experience in using sight reading skills to learn choral pieces sung at services. I was able to work together with other chorus members during rehearsal times to practice songs and prepare them for performances. My experience as a soprano and soloist at Littlefield Presbyterian has helped shape the performer and teacher that I am today. As a soloist at Littlefield Presbyterian, I have sung works by Handel, Bach, Schubert, and many more hymns and gospel pieces.
