Spencer - Get to know your vocal coach

I'm a singer-songwriter with over 10 years of experience performing, recording, and writing original music. My musical background is rooted in folk, acoustic, traditional, and contemporary styles, with a focus on authentic storytelling and expressive vocal performance. I have released original music on major streaming platforms and continue to write, record, and perform my own songs. My Teaching Style My approach to teaching folk singing focuses on helping students develop a natural, confident voice while learning songs they genuinely enjoy. Rather than emphasizing technical perfection, I help students build strong vocal habits, improve breath support, expand their range, and develop expression, phrasing, and storytelling skills that are central to folk music. Lessons are tailored to each student's goals and experience level. Beginners can expect a supportive and encouraging environment where they can build confidence and learn foundational vocal skills. More experienced singers can work on interpretation, performance preparation, harmony singing, songwriting, stage presence, and refining their unique vocal style. Whether your goal is to sing traditional folk songs, accompany yourself on guitar, perform in public, participate in community music events, or write and perform your own songs, my goal is to help you become a more confident and expressive singer while enjoying the process of making music.
