Catherine - Get to know your vocal coach

With over 30 years of performance experience in classical music and musical theatre, I bring a lifetime of passion and expertise to my work as an online vocal coach. Raised in a musical family, I learned early the value of strong technique, creativity, and joyful expression—principles that shape my teaching today. I welcome singers of all levels, from complete beginners to experienced performers preparing for auditions or roles. My approach blends classical foundation with the flexibility needed for musical theatre and contemporary styles, focusing on healthy technique, confidence, and authentic expression. Each lesson is personalized to your goals, whether you want to improve range, pitch, artistry, or simply enjoy singing more. With flexible scheduling and fully online sessions, I make it easy to fit music into your life. Together, we’ll develop your unique voice and help you grow as a confident, expressive singer.

Singing lessons highlights

My teaching centers on giving students the tools to sing well and happily. I blend classical techniques with modern, relatable material to create a strong technical foundation while keeping lessons engaging and enjoyable. Because every singer’s needs are unique, I tailor my approach to each student’s individual goals, interests, and learning style. Together, we can focus on breath control, musicality, expressiveness, vocal health, and building lasting confidence both on and off the stage. Although my background is classical, I’m fully open to exploring any genre that inspires you—musical theater, pop, jazz, or beyond—helping you develop healthy, flexible technique that supports your voice in every style you choose. Whether you’re preparing for auditions, aiming to refine specific skills, or simply wanting more music and joy in your life, we can collaborate to get you where you want to be.
