Chester, VA Singing Lessons

Learn how to control, place and project your voice, use your stage, display presence, and perform.

I teach from beginner to Advanced 6-70 years of age, if you have the desire to sing I can teach you :)

I focus on singing at the level of speech. As easy as it is to speak it should be to sing.

With proper training any style can be achieved.

I have been teaching Voice and Singing Lessons for 10 years and have performed in many different styles and venues. I instruct students from a classical style of singing to Broadway and Pop styles. I approach lessons from a classical and safe manner and help coach the student in ear training, and proper singing methods to protect the throat and vocal chords. I adjust my methods to each student to make a truly individualized experience for each singer. I plan professional student shows though out the year to give each student a practical application to their instruction!

My primary instrument is voice. I have been taking singing lessons since the age of 9, specializing in pop/rock and musical theater. When I entered college, I received classical voice lessons and really learned how the human voice works. My voice lessons will be filled with skills in good healthy singing, while still learning music that is of interest to the student. In addition to healthy singing technique, some stage presence will also be taught.

Working with students to discover the joy that music brings to our world is an incredibly rewarding experience. I love to help others explore their abilities to express and create! Employing the methods and genres that guide my artistry and forged my musicianship from a very young age, I instruct with a focus on nurturing your authentic voice. We will discover together the best program for your specific goals - communication is key! Gain and project confidence in your skills through music!

I have been teaching voice lessons for 12 years and have a master's degree in vocal pedagogy. I tailor lessons and song selections to your goals and needs as a singer. I place high emphasis on healthy vocal production, whether you belt musical theater, sing opera, or wail on rock ballades. With me, you will find efficient use of your body as your instrument, while learning to express your interpretation of your music. Message me to see if we might be a good fit!
