The Vocal Mastery course is offered in Albuquerque & Santa Fe. Check the "Register" page for dates, time and location.

Vocal Mastery is offered three terms per year. It is a group singing lesson experience dedicated to the practice of finding and exploring your authentic voice.

This program is designed for beginning to intermediate singers. We have created its expansive curriculum so that brand new singers gain skills immediately and continue gaining skills from the class even after two or three years. This is because we meet you where you are. This course will help you sing more beautifully no matter your preferred style: Pop, Jazz, Folk, Vocal Improvisation, Rock, Metal, etc. Most importantly, you will learn how to get off of your throat and sing in a healthy manner. Experienced singers wanting to brush up on your fundamentals have also found your home!

Each term iterates the fundamentals of voice technique in a fun, body-centered format. Sessions may include voice theory, group vocal warm-ups, singing songs, group vocal-ease on scales, finding your range, stabilizing the breath, examining and experiencing the different vocal registers, navigating register shifts and establishing the body's vocal support system. Additionally, you will receive individual tips throughout the term to help you with what most need.

In group singing lessons you easily adapt skills to free your true voice. Firstly, since a singing practice is like a meditation, yoga, or exercise program, we guide you and really want you to succeed. This is because, as you become committed to your practice, it takes shape and form, leading you to your authentic voice. As a result, we co-create a fun and highly supportive environment.

Group singing lessons are super fun and effective!

Vocal Mastery, Santa Fe

In contrast to other programs, no prior music education is necessary. However, if you have studied in conservatory you may be surprised by the ease at which you are guided to find your true authentic voice. In part, this is due to the knowledge passed down to me from the Transformational Voice Teacher Apprenticeship from which I graduated in 2013.

Group singing lessons may be the best way to absorb new techniques. Together with developing skills, you witness others tackling their vocal challenges. So, you learn by watching, listening and doing.

You will be in very good hands! I have studied music all my life. Because of this, I have had many different types of teachers. I learned in music schools, college and private lessons. Next, I began studying with master teachers in workshops. So, I fuse classical voice theory with modern techniques that apply to all singing styles.

Above all, I revere encouraging and positive teaching styles. Rest assured that you will be supported no matter your level. Together with my BA in Holistic Psychology, my work in massage and energy healing informs me as I intuitively guide you in the right direction. In brief, the word "holistic" means a lot to me, since voice is very much a full body and mind experience.

I have worked through the fear, the stagefright, the self-critic . . . time and time again. For most, these are all part of the singer's journey. We all collectively help each other in our classes to feel the fear and do it anyway!

In summary, I look forward to singing with you! I promise you will be given the tools and support you need on your singer's journey!

We highly encourage all Vocal Mastery students to consider also enrolling in Vocal Improvisation: The Spirit of Expression. In Vocal Mastery you learn the nuts and bolts of singing. In Vocal Improv you will learn the art of expression and develop a rich and rewarding singing practice. This is most useful for all musical endeavors from singing to songwriting. We want our singers to be adept improvisers and our improvisers to know how to sing beautifully! The two programs together make up our Star Series.
