Ivory - Get to know your vocal coach

I’m Ivory West! I’m currently in the process of receiving my Bachelor’s in Vocal Performance with a focus in Classical Singing. However, my first love is Pop and Modern Jazz. And I love teaching all genres. I offer a fun, low pressure learning environment while maintaining a structured approach. I want to feel comfortable with me but to get you out of your vocal comfort zone. I teach all ages from Beginner to Intermediate. Whether you’ve never sung a note in your life or just want to see some improvement, I’ve got you covered. With me, you will learn pitch control, breath control, diction, sight reading skills, performance skills, and more! I’ve wanted to teach others how to sing since I was 12 years old. Now that the opportunity has come, I hope you will allow me to make my dream come true and trust me with your voice. Singing has been a skill that has brought me so much joy and I hope I can share that with you and help you experience that too! Whether you want to be the next big music icon or just want to be better at karaoke, I can help! I look forward to learning together and getting to know eachother. I want the very best for all of my students so I try to provide the very best. See you there! Your New Voice Teacher, Ivory West
