Whether it comes to jazz, classical, pop, or musical theater singing lessons, our voice teachers are specialized in different styles, methods, and techniques.
These specializations make our voice program unique in that we match students to the voice teacher that we believe best fits their personal goals. Our teachers also understand how important it is for a good teacher/student connection. Therefore, they understand and support students who wish to try lessons with different teachers if they feel like they might find a better connection with a teacher within our program. We know how rare it is to find this kind of community among teachers of the arts. For this reason, we pride ourselves on having this special support among all of our teachers.

and encouragement with all of her students.

Consequently, a music teacher should listen, instruct, and provide useful resources that pertain to individualistic those goals.
Monica believes that the study of singing is the art of true, authentic self-expression and that lessons must be taught with compassion, empathy, and sincerity. Therefore, she maintains, that music-making should be accessible to everybody, no matter what age the potential student is because creative outlets are important for our mental, physical, and emotional health.
