Rochelle - Get to know your vocal coach
Rochelle has lived in Fort Wayne, IN her whole life. Music has always been a huge part of her life. She attended Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne and earned a Bachelors Degree in Vocal Music Education. While attending college she lead SAI as the Vice President of Membership. She was a section leader in University Singers, participated in Vocal Jazz, Chamber Ensemble and Opera Ensemble. Traveling with the choirs she was able to perform in places like The Rudolfinum in Prague, St.Peter’s Cathedral, Carnegie Hall and the National Cathedral. After she began giving private lessons/classes, she realized she had found her knack. When working one-on-one with a student, much more is learned. She feels blessed to help people learn something that is a life long skill. Being a part of ensembles and performing in general has given her a new confidence. Being one of those kids with stage fright, she understands how to deal with energies that get in our way as performers. Her dream is to help people find their love for music.

Singing lessons highlights
when teaching I like to use a mix of methods. It really all depends on the student. I am Suzuki certified but that doesn’t mean that I wont ever use Kodaly or Orff in our sessions. I like to figure out how the student learns the best and then that’s how I will fashion the information for their session. I believe that the voice is a musical instrument. I also believe that singing is a small muscle sport. There are many muscles and tendons that we use to sing. If a sound is happening for someone I like to find out why. Do we need to find more space? Maybe we need to find an inner smile and lift the face. Maybe the soft pallet needs lifted, maybe their posture needs fixed so the note has better support. These are all things that could causing a bad sound. All of the things I’m mentioned have to deal with muscles. If the singer can train their small muscles the sound will have the correct space to resonate and project.
