Kathy’s
Voice Studio
I’ll help you
find your voice…
My name is Kathy and I have been teaching music and voice for over 25 years and greatly enjoy sharing my knowledge of the voice as an expressive instrument and an extension of the human person. I work individually with students of varying ages who are singing in school and church choirs, preparing for a solo or ensemble audition, or building their repertoire for auditions, contests, and competitions of all kinds.
Lessons are tailored to each student to build and refine a healthy, flexible, and sustainable instrument. Song repertoire varies and can consist of art song, oratorio, opera, folk, and musical theater. We have fun, too!
Get in touch and lets find your voice!
