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
