Singing Lessons in Columbia City. Amazing Teachers.

Hello! I have a passion for helping students feel empowered and confident through the use of their voice, whether personal or professional. As someone who has struggled with and recovered from a vocal pathology, I feel that I have a unique perspective on the emotional taxations and challenges that vocal work can bring up. I strive to use compassion and the "love and logic" methodology with all of my students. I am passionate about voice pedagogy and voice science, and use a more anatomically based approach in my teaching, rather than metaphorical.

I received my master's degree in voice performance from the University of Northern Colorado in 2017, and hold a bachelor's in music education which I obtained from Colorado State University in 2013. I am a performing mezzo-soprano in a variety of genres, and I have a passion for teaching many different styles including classical, jazz, and musical theater.

I teach ages 12 and up!

Master Your Vocal, Emotional, and Presentation Techniques and Material

Become the masterful Singer that you really ARE! Learn to bring out the natural beauty and power of your Voice, and to match your own unique personality and vocal qualities to complementing repertoire in order to show your voice and talents in their best light. We'll develop the repertoire that fits YOU. You'll learn how the Voice works and where it really comes from, and probably be amazed at the almost immediate widening of your vocal range and increased ability to sing long phrases.

We'll polish your audition pieces, and then video them to allow you to see what the judges will be seeing. Then we'll polish them some more as needed!

We'll work on stage appearance, and even on maintaining your "cool" under pressure.

You will learn to overcome self-imposed limitations, and to bring out all those vocal treasures that have been poking at you to let them out for a long time!

Its time to take your ...

I am happy to take students ranging from the "pitch challenged" to those working on professional recordings.

Hi! I'm Em, I'm a lead singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in North America. I teach voice, guitar, piano and singer songwriter studies. I offer uniquely tailored curriculums, focussed coaching and clear strategies for helping my students both identify and meet their goals. I also co-write songs with many of my students who need early guidance melodically or lyrically. Many of my students are currently lead singers of bands, solo career singer-songwriters and broadway performers. I provide vocal teaching and coaching at every level from beginner to advanced.

Build confidence in your singing, and learn to sing more clearly, beautifully, and resonantly. Together we will focus on exercises and repertoire that strengthen and build flexibility in your voice. I am a professional opera singer, active performer, and avid teacher of voice. I'm certain that in our work together you will gain confidence in your singing, be it in the shower, in front of an audition panel, or on a big stage! I hope to hear you soon!

We'll start off by talking through your goals for your voice and what you want to achieve from taking lessons. We will work on different techniques that make up a great voice and then apply what you learned to the music you love. Lessons are fun and we will work hard to bring out your best voice and create a sound you love!
