    About Sara J.

    Howdy! I have been teaching private voice lessons for over 15 years. My students have an assortment of musical backgrounds and experience levels. Some students are pursuing professional careers while others are still beginners building confidence in their vocal abilities and musical skills. My approach to teaching is as unique as the student. With a Masters degree in Music and continued studies in voice with internationally renowned professionals in New York City and Berlin, I have developed a pretty extensive vocabulary, knowledge of repertoire and understanding for the vocal instrument. Not to mention, with a background of over a decade performing in the US and Europe I know how to identify an audience and effectively communicate these learned skills. My job is to take my experience and knowledge, relate them to my student and showcase a new artistic voice. Let's make music.

    Sara is a great instructor! She really knows how to target weaknesses and help you improve them. I've only had 3 classes so far with her, but I already feel more comfortable singing and have a better understanding of my voice. I highly recommend her!
