Voice Lessons in San Diego
I know singing can be scary, but my goal is to give you the confidence to sing any style you want for as long as you want. I love working with adults and children alike to build confidence, comfort, and coordination in singing, regardless of skill or experience.

Meet Your Voice Teachers:
Kathryn & Luna
Okay, Luna doesn’t really teach, BUT she is a fantastic example to all of my students. Why? Animals always move and make sound with their full bodies. They don’t try to “stand up straight,” or “suck in” their stomachs. They don’t use more energy than they need to, but always just enough. If the sound comes out differently than planned, they try again. And that’s a great lesson.

Why Should You Study with Me?
I want you to become your own best teacher. I want you to know exactly HOW your voice works, WHY it works that way, and WHAT you can do to develop and maintain a consistent, reliable technique that will allow you to keep singing comfortably for your whole life.
Learn to Love Your Voice
Voices are a lot like people. They come into the world with strengths and weaknesses, and we don’t get to choose what those are. But also like people, voices grow and change over time — with a little guidance.
I want you to love your voice. Now, that doesn’t mean you always have warm and fuzzy feelings towards it. (All feelings are valid!) It does mean that you take the bad with the good, the rough days with the borderline miraculous. And you keep going, no matter what.
Your Goals Matter
Whether you want to sing in a concert hall, or just in your living room, you’re in the right place. My only expectation is that we keep working towards your goals so you can find joy in whatever kind of music you choose.
You Will Never Be “Just Another Student”
I am overjoyed when I get to welcome a new student into my studio, and I take that relationship seriously. That’s why I limit my ongoing lesson enrollment to 20 students: because I want to make sure I’m able to give every student my equal and undivided attention.
What are lessons like?
I offer lessons in any genre, but my specialties are: classical, folk, opera, and choral music.
In all genres you’ll learn how to:
Reduce tension and sing with ease
Sing for longer without tiring your voice
Increase your vocal range (higher and lower)
Have better breath support - no more gasping for air
Improve pitch
Develop longevity - maintain vocal health so you can sing with ease for the rest of your life
Perform with confidence and poise (if you so choose)
