Classical Voice with Mariah C.

Welcome to my page! While this is not my life story, I hope you can get to know a little more about my journey as a musician and singer. I'll jump right in. So, I have performed in over 500 concerts in my career as a musician thus far. Sounds crazy right? During the time I was getting my bachelors and masters degrees, I had the unique opportunity to tour all over the country and perform with a full orchestra. This type of first-hand performance experience helped me to better understand the need for excellence in many areas, such as; breath support, proper posture, diction, and appropriate performance practice. One goal of mine is to help my students excel in these areas also. As much as I love classical music, I also love musical theater. I have had the privilege of performing in shows such as Gilbert and Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore as “Buttercup”, as well as Yeston and Kopit’s Phantom, of which I won the Inland Theater League Founders Award for my role as “Carlotta”. Singing has always been my passion. After getting my Masters in Vocal Performance, I decided I wanted to share that passion and knowledge with others. Although I was classically trained in voice I enjoy singing many different styles of music, from opera, to jazz, broadway, pop, and country, just to name a few. I teach vocalist of all ages and skill levels, and I believe when proper vocal technique is taught and practiced, a person can sing most any genre. I would love to opportunity to help you realize your goals and reach your full potential as a vocalist.
