Private lessons with top Singing instructors near Redmond, WA

I am a Seattle-based performer, songwriter, musician, and educator. I am skilled in establishing a safe space for trauma-sensitive voice lessons, refining vocal technique, and building vocal stamina, helping singers revamp their repertoire and love what they sing. I teach students how to strengthen and develop their natural gifts to free the voice within. Singing is a skill, just like riding a bicycle and I believe anyone can learn to sing! Singing time consists of voice warming, technique-focused exercises, repertoire tuning, and artistry finesse. Admin time is spent emailing you any necessary tools, info, exercises, and assignments for the week.

I have been teaching voice/singing for over 8 years. I have been performing and recording as lead singer and songwriter in bands for over 25 years. As a Berklee College of Music alumnus, I studied ear training and solfege as well as jazz and harmony. Many years of choir and musical theater experience in school. No classical or opera experience. I provide a core of proper technique and vocal exercises combined with working on repertoire (songs!) based on the students interest. From jazz standards to modern pop, rock and r&b.

If you dream of singing Broadway there's no end to the wonderful repertoire that we can develop! The music of Broadway encompasses a vast variety of singing styles, and requires a robust and flexible vocal sound AND a solid understanding of the proper vocal technique...for singing as well as speaking. And all that while playing the part of the particular character!! Easy!!!, or so we make it look! We'll gain a thorough understanding of how the vocal apparatus actually works, and develop supportive breathing and athletic techniques that will release the full range of your voice and increase the beauty and flexibility of your tone production. And, since its Broadway, we'll do that for both the singing and speaking Voice. Your range will dramatically increase, projection will magnify, you'll learn to protect and preserve your Natural innate voice, and set it free to express the emotions of the song. Your confidence will soar as you refine your sounds and learn to apply them to any type of genre. And we'll develop the repertoire that you'll need for auditions, performances, your own albums, and just plain enjoyment!
