Our Studio

Our goal is to train singers as vocal athletes, performers, and artists. Private vocal coaching is done through an eclectic approach of teaching methods drawing from old and new practices in the field. We strive to develop each student’s entire instrument, leading to greater range, flexibility, stamina, and power. We want to fill each singer’s toolbox with greater variety, including new colors and textures. Vocal cross-training is promoted in our studio, allowing students to explore many styles of singing they love.

Among our highest aims is to combine healthy singing technique with genre-appropriate nuance and honest expression. Finding what it takes to be open-hearted in this performance art requires practice.

Nothing can replace hands-on experience and we believe building an immunity to performance nerves comes from facing them. Establishing a comfortable stage presence comes with trial and error, familiarity and success. To help address this, we hold regular studio events. Through these gatherings we promote a community where our singers inspire each other and learn together. At our live venues we use professional sound equipment to give our clients a safe place to practice interacting with gigging essentials. We also have resources to help in-state clients build up their portfolios through in-house demo recording. Having exciting goals to work towards keeps our singers growing regardless of their level. Perhaps most importantly, this package experience enables our singers to give of their talents in new and important ways.

As we capture your song, we hope you will be empowered and prepared to share it with others.
