Private Music Lessons in Santa Ana, CA

I am a seasoned performer with a Bachelor & Masters in Voice Performance. I am new to the area & starting a voice studio in my home, and will travel to clients. I will work with students at all levels. Whether you want to sing or speak at a church, school, or for a personal event, I will help you improve your vocal quality, consistency, support and phrasing. I am also a guitarist & will work with students that sing & play the guitar. Each of us are unique. First time and seasoned students are welcome to try my flexible approach. I enjoy working with and evaluating each student, providing a flexible lesson plan and allowing students to develop into the best they can be. I also enjoy working with seasoned students as a vocal coach, as needed.

I currently hold a Bachelor’s Degree in jazz performance in violin from University of the Pacific, and I am currently studying at California University State Northridge (CSUN) for my Masters also in jazz performance. Most of my performance career is jazz-focused, however I was classically trained through the Suzuki Method and teach in a similar style. I am able to play any genre of music, such as jazz, pop, RnB, country, etc. I both perform and teach in the LA/OC Area, a good balance I’ve found for myself. Usual events I play for include weddings (usually covers), birthday parties, corporate events, etc. I can also provide a group of musicians if your event requires it, anything from 1-8 musicians. For students, I am able to teach in-person and online, whatever you prefer! I do a minimum of 45 minute lessons, but 1 hour is preferred.
