I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I have been teaching professionally for 17 years. It is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson.

HI! I'm Emily and I am a professional actor/singer teaching voice lessons! With several years of teaching experience under my belt and an extensive music education, having gained a BFA in Musical Theater from the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, I work with all age groups and skill levels. To me, vocal health and pedagogy is the most important thing, followed closely by creating a fun learning environment for my students.
Whether you are someone taking voice lessons for the first time, or an advanced student looking to work on a specific goal(s), I craft my lessons specifically for the student. Really taking into account your specific strengths and areas for growth. I prioritize a positive, enjoyable learning experience above all else. Singing should be fun! I can't wait to work with you.

Opera, art-song, lieder, and all classical technique is taught here. We can even work on cross-over techniques.

I have been teaching this subject for over 16 years. There is no specific curriculum as each student will come to lessons with their own unique skills, needs, and goals. Lessons are tailored to those specifics. It is not necessary to know how to read music at the first lesson for beginners. However, learning to read is required for subsequent lessons and will be a large focus for all non-readers. Music is not learned "by ear." A certain amount of theory will be a part of every lesson just as technique and repertoire. Concerning repertoire, it will be selected from the western classical rep based on the student's learning needs and with their input. The main emphasis on performance lessons, however, will be technique and reading. Students should come to the first lesson prepared to discuss their background & goals and the plan of their course of study.
