    About Natalie I.

    Welcome! I'm so excited you are interested in voice lessons and I would love to guide and support you on your singing journey. I am currently accepting new students! I have a bachelor's degree in classical voice performance and k-12 music education, a master's degree in classical voice performance (opera), and an artist diploma in early music (specializing in vocal baroque music from western music history). I have experience teaching classroom general music and choir (public and private schools) across 7 years, and have been teaching voice lessons intermittently (when I've had time!) since 2010. In addition to my professional classical and baroque voice performance expertise, I am a professional choral singer, I have performed multiple times with a vocal jazz trio in Chicago, performed musical theater pieces in benefit concerts, and am also the lead singer in a Celtic trio here in Seattle. I work with private voice students who schedule lessons regularly (weekly or every other week) as well as occasionally (for "tune-ups" or special projects). Options for study are vocal technique, musicianship skills (reading and performing written music), singing in multiple languages (English, Italian, German, French, and Spanish are my specialties for sung diction), preparing for auditions, preparing parts and roles for shows, and also to simply explore the voice, explore a love for singing, and a love for music! I have been teaching private voice lessons to middle school, high school, and adult students for the last 13 years in Chicago and Seattle. My voice studio is located in Seattle, I also teach in-person lessons on the East side in Medina on Wednesdays and Sundays, and lessons are also available on Zoom or the TakeLessons Classroom platform. Current Rates on TakeLessons: 30-minute lesson: $68.00 45-minute lesson: $73.00 1-hour lesson: $88.00 I would normally do sliding scale as an option on a case-by-case basis, but TakeLessons has a rigid pricing and payout system. Please reach out to me directly through a TakeLessons message if you need help with this.

    Private voice teacher in the music department working with students between 5th grade - 12th grade. Students are required to study 1-2 classical or classic folk solo pieces each semester as a minimum to work on musicianship and vocal technique, and are then welcome to branch out into the genre of their choice including jazz, musical theater, and pop where we continue those musicianship and technical skills. Students performed solos in two recitals each school year.
