Tessa - Get to know your vocal coach
Hi! I'm Tessa! I am currently in university studying political science, Spanish, and philosophy. Music has always been one of my passions. It is such a unique and special way of expressing yourself. I have been singing my entire life including having been in 2 different bands, singing publicly, and taking singing lessons myself. Apart from singing, I play guitar, clarinet and a little bit of piano. I've also branched out into singing different languages such as Spanish and Hindi. My personal specialties are in pop, soundtracks, and musical theatre singing. All of these have different methods and styles that are utilized. We can focus on improving your technique, switching from chest voice to head voice and even music theory as it is very important. I offer personalized lessons tailored to you, your level, your strengths, and most importantly, your interests. Even if you are a total beginner or a kid eager to learn, that is just fine. I am here to help and guide you to achieve your goals. I believe singing should be fun, expressive, and confidence-building for everyone, and I strive to make every lesson encouraging and enjoyable. Let's hit the right notes together for an enriching singing journey!
