Keezletown, VA Classical Voice Lessons

I've been singing since I was six and started to take professional lessons from professors when I was 13. I am able to give you a strong foundation to pursue you singing career. I focus on breath support, technique and music theory. After every lesson you will have a recording in wav. format to listen back to. I also create demos for my students.

Regardless of the type of music you want to eventually sing, every voice will benefit from studying classical technique and repertoire. I build on my education from studying classical voice at the Peabody Conservatory and performing in operas such as La Traviata and Aida. You will learn how to sing in various languages (Italian, French, German), increase vocal stamina and breathe support, extend your range, develop vibrato, and build confidence on stage.

Over 17+ years of experience in vocal performance, and can teach opera, classical technique, mixed languages, as well as pop singing and the more contemporary "radio-play" music that most people are wanting to sing.

Having graduated from UCLA in Music, I have performed in several operas and have sung with professional choirs. I believe that singing should be easy and be used in a means to express your emotions and to share your story.

I am an opera singer who has experience teaching multiple genres including pop, rock, jazz and classical. I create monthly plans for my students and teach them techniques to feel in control of their singing and confident.

Every lesson is for YOU. The time we spend together is time for you to explore your voice, your goals, and desires within music. I specialize in beginner/intermediate singers looking to expand their voice, repertoire, and love of singing. No lesson will be the same, and every lesson will be a shared experience in which we learn how your voice works, and how it feels.

Lessons include, but are not limited too, repertoire exploration, music theory, range expansion, vocal pedagogy/vocal anatomy, performance preparation, character coaching .....and much more.

I have been helping people realize their potential as a singer for over 5 years now. Along with being a vocal coach and teacher, I have over 10 years of performance experience in a variety of styles. In terms of jazz, I have studied with jazz greats such as Sunny Wilkinson, members of The New York Voices, Rosana Eckert, and more! I have also worked with many great pop and musical theater instructors such as Matt Edwards and Edrie Means. In 2018 I received my session 1 certification in contemporary commercial music from Shenandoah University.
Along with teaching a variety of styles, I am also a huge advocate of incorporating vocal health into my lessons. After recovering from vocal nodules in 2015 and studying with renowned speech-language pathologist Marci Rosenberg, I make sure my vocalists have the tools they need in order to stay vocally healthy. Every student is different, and so the path that each singer takes will be different than another. But with hard work, persistence, an ...

Laura's lessons are fun, high-energy, and tailored to meet every student's goals, whether it is to become a Broadway star or living room diva (or divo)! With over a decade of experience teaching both privately and in classrooms, Laura loves to help singers and actors excel at auditions, competitions, and performances by guiding the performer to connect with the storyteller inside. Her students have performed on and off Broadway, at Carnegie Hall, in national tours, on TV, and in theaters all across the US and Japan. And you can be next!

I've been singing since I was a little girl. I've done choir my whole life and am involved in 3 praise teams at my churches. I lead a youth praise team and I believe singing should be a fun thing to do not a chore. Music is a beautiful thing and the noise we will make will be perfect in it's own way.

I am a Bachelor of Music candidate at James Madison University, and will be graduating in December of this year! Starting in January I have full availability for students of all ages to improve their singing and vocal technique!

My specialty is music theater, but I am also trained classically and have knowledge in all genres. I love vocal health and vocal technique and would teach both of those greatly in depth.

I am all about fun! I am a very bubbly and kind person, and I know that lessons with me would be a blast!
