Learn all styles of music and performance with a professional music teacher
All styles of singing: I use the bel canto technique for all styles, and all ages and levels. I am known as patient, funny, and no-nonsense! An "un-teachery" teacher that uses plain language to get results for you VERY quickly. Even in the first lesson, I'll get you making sounds easily. As you progress, you'll be amazed at the power and consistency that comes out when you work on your songs, and perform them!
About Molly M.

I want you to laugh as you learn, and love love love the results you’ll get . I understand what what it's REALLY about- expression and fun, not judgement . Vocal exploration that's 100% customized . And that includes acting and speaking voice as well! Have you been told you are too old to sing? Not talented? Tone deaf? Singing is for EVERYONE, and I can prove it to you. You'll leave your first lesson feeling empowered . I am the teacher for singers who don't want a teacher to be teacher-y (but who still want to learn to sing good and stuff). I can teach you online (but you'll miss out on my aging, sassy cats) BMus Millikin University, further studies Boston Conservatory .

I have thoroughly enjoyed my vocal lessons with Molly so far! I have only had three lessons so far and already feel a huge transformation in my voice. She is great at teaching and making you feel comfortable, especially as a newbie myself. Highly recommend taking vocal lessons with Molly!

Molly is an amazing person and instructor. She takes time to understand your personal needs and desired outcomes and makes sure you develop those areas. I’m very grateful and thankful for all her fantastic support. I noticed impactful improvement from day 1. Plus if you’re looking to have fun while learning, Molly is the right person to take lessons with.
