Voice Lessons in Lewiston, ID

***My studios are in Spokane Valley and in my home in CdA; I also travel to students for an extra fee, and as far South as Lewiston/Clarkston! There is nothing I love more than guiding people in learning to properly sing and/or play the piano: it fills me up inside & is my niche; I've known for a very long time it would be, but confirmation came in the first lesson I ever gave. I've had my own studio since 2010, I've run a studio in 3 Spokane YMCA locations, have a BA from EWU in Music with large minors in Education, both Clinical and Applied Psychology, and Music Education; I also have 4.5 years and 5 worldwide accreditation certificates in holistic healing. I have taught in public schools, performed in college, in local theaters, in bands & worship teams, and have sung private gigs. I specialize in working through stahe fright and also from being "tone deaf". Last year, I sent a singer to American Idol and sang with Zonky Jazz Band; ai have students in local theaters and bands. I am willing to take students at my home or via the internet. My rate is the lowest going rate, as I believe private lessons should be affordable to all. The first time I meet with someone is free. I'm also willing to financially work with low-income students. Everyone who is hungry to learn deserves a good teacher. I love that I have the opportunity to bring even more quality music into the world and to help others discover the joy of their full potential. There is nothing more enjoyable to me than to see a person's face light up or to see them excitedly make connections as they learn. What excites & satisfies me about my work is the work. Teaching singing & piano is my niche in life where I go into a mental zone. My joy & satisfaction comes from getting to help a student grow. I really care about my students. I am quirky & laid back, I will make you laugh at times, and you will enjoy the process. I incorporate holistic & psychological practices to help students with stage fright, or who are just overloaded in life, to be able to get past those barriers. I think outside the box, so my lessons aren't the stereotypical ones people imagine. I asked a student of mine a couple years back, after 2 years of lessons, what she thought. Her reply was that it isn't what she thought it would be, but it just works. I take great joy in assisting my students to grow in their art.

I have taught many styles of singing for more than 20 years. I am effective and I work quickly. I make sure my students get their money’s worth at every lesson.

I’m a professional singer and voice teacher with a Master’s degree in Voice and Opera. I offer singing lessons for a wide arrangement of students in a wide variety of styles. Beginner, intermediate, or experts all welcome. While classical is my specialty, and I believe a classical base is helpful for all types of singing, I also teach pop, jazz, and musical theatre as well. Recommended for students age 13 and up, adults and teenagers welcome. I also provide music tutoring services in subjects such as Music Theory, Music History, Sightsinging, and Foreign Language Diction. Lesson rates range from $50-$100, depending on length of lesson and location.
