Qualified Vocal Teachers in Sunnyvale
It’s incredibly important to give your child the opportunity to work with a knowledgeable teacher. Our singing teachers have:
Undergone rigorous training in graded vocal pedagogy literature
Taught under supervised voice teaching programs
Achieved a professional level of singing expertise
Taught students of many ages and abilities for years
We enjoy helping students sing more beautifully (and healthfully) by relaying our own personal experience. We’ve also worked with countless students, and we have learned so much over the years.
A Well-Rounded Voice Education
As far as the vocal mechanism is concerned, students will learn to sing clearly and without tension, project volume without straining, breath deeply through diaphragmatic breathing techniques, and create a beautiful sound in the bel canto style. As we develop a student’s technique, we will also help widen the vocal range. We’ll also practice scales and arpeggios – demands that are present in things like arias, Schubert’s Lieder, and even a great deal of Broadway music.
Prepare For Auditions, Exams and More
In addition to helping our students become excellent singers, we teach note reading, the basics of music theory, musical interpretation, diction and more. We can specifically help your child prepare for MTNA, ABRSM, RCM, and other auditions – even AP music theory, through our weekend music theory classes.
If your child has a school choir or theater audition coming up, please let us know! We can help them practice their music and learn how to project a strong stage presence. We can also help students develop repertoire lists for college auditions, and we’ll even hold a mock jury if you have auditions coming up.

Whether it’s a young student just learning to match pitches or sing melodies, or high schooler learning to sing new tenor, bass, soprano, or alto literature, we are here to help. We will help you develop tone, technique, and musical literacy, and we want to help you reach your goals.

No. We welcome beginners and experienced singers alike. Younger students learn how to match pitch, sing melodies, and develop musical ear training, while advanced students refine tone quality, range, and stylistic expression.

Our voice program focuses on classical and musical theater repertoire. Students learn traditional vocal literature as well as songs from Broadway, film, and art music. This mix helps them build both technique and versatility.

We help students prepare for school musicals, choir placements, and college vocal auditions. Preparation includes song selection, diction coaching, stage presence, and mock performances to simulate the audition experience.
Do Students Perform In Recitals?
Yes. All voice students perform four to five times each year in recitals organized by the school. These events provide an encouraging atmosphere where singers build confidence and share their growth with family and friends.

Students should have a music notebook, a pencil, and a folder for sheet music. The school provides access to its music library, where students can purchase repertoire books and method materials.
How Do You Handle Missed Lessons?
If you must cancel a lesson, please notify the school at least 24 hours in advance. Lessons canceled early can be rescheduled. Cancellations within 24 hours are charged, since the teacher reserves that time exclusively for the student.
