Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Houlton, WI

Singing lessons are very special, because the student's voice is their instrument! We learn proper posture, good breathing technique, free head voice singing for proper pitch placement and good tone quality and resonance. Students can pick their style of music and even the songs they'd like to sing. Typically students like to sing show tunes, folk songs, and musicals. Italian Arias are good to learn pure vowel sounds, free head voice, diction, and study excellent classics. Students have fun as they learn to be the best singer they can be! :)

I've been teaching voice and singing with local opera companies for almost 30 years. I've sung with the Atlanta Opera chorus and outreach program. I've sung roles for Capitol City opera as well as others. I specialize in opera and classical singing however, I also love musical theater. I believe all styles of singing should use strong breath control and vocal technique. I teach breathing for singing and speaking; vowel and tone production and resonance; relaxation techniques, interpretation and dramatic aspects of literature for performance and auditions. Many of my students have gone on to college with voice scholarships and continue singing as adults.

I've been teaching singing for 26 years and my students have gone on to develop a deep love of music, sing professionally and become music teachers! Within the first few lessons, you'll start singing with more confidence and as time goes by, you'll be performing like a pro! I specialize in classical, Broadway, pop and jazz, can play your songs for you and have the following tools available for your lessons: YouTube, piano and an extensive music book library. I love working with students of all experience levels!

I teach a range of 20 different classes.
Please see my subject listings for a full description of classes.

There are so many colors to the human voice. Unlike most instruments, the human body does not show us what note we are playing or how the air is inhaled in to our stomach. So we end up feeling our way through, using our imagination. This is where the magic happens. In class and outside of it, muscle memory takes its natural course and we begin creating a unique and practical "navigation map" of your voice.
Whether you feel like letting out some steam, working on those high notes or designing your own sound; I am excited to meet you! I have studied (and still studying - learning is endless...) many different techniques and am very committed to sharing what I know with patience and passion.
Lessons are flexible, fun and fit for the students needs.
I take great pride in my students success and can't wait to welcome new ones!

Singing can be healthy, exciting, effortless-feeling, and cathartic all at the same time. Our one-on-one lessons link student goals with positive outcomes by developing understanding of healthy vocal habits, production, and presentation of repertoire that fits and flatters the voice. Areas of study include classical, music theatre, folk, and rock/pop.

All students will have the opportunity to perform on studio recitals.
