VOICE

We offer voice lessons for Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, and beyond. Whether you want to learn folk, jazz, classical, broadway, church music... whatever it is, this is the place for you! For ages 4-11, we designate these lessons as "Singing Lessons," focusing first and foremost on just having fun with music and encouraging a child's love for music and growing self-confidence. For ages 12+, we call these "Voice Lessons," and make that distinction because it is at this age that we start emphasizing proper technique, posture, and breathing as their voice begins to mature. All ages will learn about the importance of stage presence and will be given opportunities to sing in front of small and large audiences. While we will certainly broaden every student's horizons by encouraging a wide range of musical styles (from folk to Disney to Broadway to church worship songs to classical art songs), we also customize our approach so we can help each student with the particular styles and genres they most love. Join us... it's going to be a blast!

She has premiered many works by student composers and enjoys singing in the contemporary styles of John Adams, George Crumb, and Jonathan Dove.
