    Nicole C.Is available for online lessons. Nicole has been singing for over 25 years and teaching music since 2012. Her latest project, Vox Medusa, has performed the last 4 years at the MN Fringe Festival, winning them Audience Choice. Nicole teaches all experience levels from beginner to intermediate and advanced. Nicole is the Music Director at MN Valley UU Fellowship. Nicole developed her own method of teaching to positively enhance the student's strength, confidence, ear-training, memorization and techniques by creating a safe space for expression. Her positive and approachable personality sets the tone for a good singing experience. In Beginning lessons, we discuss goals of the student to establish the skill level, beginning with vocalizes. Reading music isn't mandatory. Nicole sometimes incorporates classical technique as she believes it is rooted as a foundation for good breath support and quality of tone. After initial lessons, student's continue to explore other styles including jazz, musical theater, world, improvisation, rock, and contemporary, depending on the student's goals. Nicole attended McNally Smith College of Music, St. Paul, MN. She also continues to perform nationally and Internationally with various local, while teaching at performing arts schools in the Twin Cities.

    My daughter has been singing with Nicole for a few weeks and loves it so far! Can’t wait to see what is to come!

    I feel somewhat at a loss for words as I try to convey how incredibly positive our experience with Nicole has been. She exudes warmth, enthusiasm, acceptance, and joy. She is also clearly an expert in her field. After his lesson with Nicole, my son said "I've never felt so confident about my singing before!" I feel like we hit the jackpot by finding Nicole.

    Been working with Nicole for a little bit and love her enthusiasm and attitude. I've started working on a mix of musical theatre and classic pieces. 100% recommend working with her!
