Singing with Mary Helen S.

Hi there! Thank you for considering me in your search for a voice instructor. As a voice teacher and vocal coach, it is my sincere belief that anyone who possesses the true desire and drive can learn to sing and/or use their voice to it's fullest potential. Vocal technique, especially for singing, isn't something you must simply be born with, it is something you can learn! It is my desire to provide a safe, encouraging space in which to try new things so you can discover your own unique voice and talent. With proper training and practice, you will discover that you really can do it! Proper vocal technique can free your voice to sing in any style you choose. If you have the passion and the drive to stick to it and work hard, you can sing the music you’ve always dreamed of. I have been teaching voice to students of all ages for more than 10 years. I have a BA in Music and Vocal Performance with a background in Vocal Pedagogy and Classical Technique. I offer competitive pricing and remote private lessons so you can learn from the comfort and safety of your own home! In-person lessons are available as well if you prefer. I love helping students grow, overcome their own vocal challenges, and reach their singing goals in a way that is fun, empowering, affirming, and inspiring. I love how excited my students get every time they make a new breakthrough and find they can now do with ease something they may have thought was impossible for them before! I have worked with students of all ages at a variety of skill levels. Everything from absolute beginners to advanced performers who are looking to improve their technique and vocal health. My sweet spot is any student who needs a little help finding their musical confidence, building good vocal habits, and/or infusing their natural love of singing with the technique needed to overcome vocal challenges and take them to the next level. I also have extensive, multi-genre performance experience as a soloist and collaborative vocalist in musical theater, rock and jazz bands, a capella singing groups, and choral music. Therefore, I understand the needs and challenges of the performer and am able to equip students with the tools they need to meet and sustain their performance goals.
