Intermediate & Advanced Private Voice Lessons

For serious students ready for competitive goals, private lessons provide high-level, 1:1 coaching in Western Classical Voice and Musical Theater. Located in Sunnyvale, we specialize in refining advanced technique, repertoire, and performance psychology.

Signs of Readiness for Private Lessons

Transitioning to private lessons is a significant step. We look for the following signs that a student is ready to benefit most from individualized coaching:

​​

• A solid foundation in music literacy (theory and sight-reading).

• Consistent attendance and demonstrated commitment to practicing.

• The maturity to focus on detailed technical feedback, including body awareness

Audition Coaching & College Prep

Advanced private lessons include dedicated time for specialization and competitive preparation:

NATS Competition Preparation

We coach students for the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) student auditions, a high level benchmark for vocal excellence. Preparation includes genre specific stylization, foreign language diction, and a deep focus on performance polish. Learn more about NATS here.

College Audition Preparation

The college audition process for music programs (B.M., B.A., B.F.A.) is rigorous. We provide comprehensive guidance:

• Repertoire Curation: Building a cohesive, multi-genre audition book (Classical Art Song, Musical Theater, etc.).

• Pre-Screen Recordings: Advising on high-quality video and audio submissions.

• Letters of recommendation

Why Private Instruction Matters

Private lessons allow for an intensive focus on your unique instrument—your voice. This 1:1 time is essential for addressing complex technical challenges, mastering advanced repertoire, and ensuring vocal longevity, especially under the pressure of competitions and auditions.
