Why Study With Andrea?

Not all voice teachers are the same; each has their own teaching style and level of training and experience.  In your search for the right teacher, some of the factors that should influence your decision are education, experience, proven results, personality, commitment, and professionalism.  Don’t just focus on price or location; these factors may not lead you to the best teacher for you.

Ongoing professional performing
When your teacher is also a performer, you get to learn by watching him/her in action.  You can see by attending her performances whether the technique she is teaching you actually works.  An active performer has to practically apply healthy singing habits.

Andrea performs as a soloist throughout seacoast New Hampshire with community choruses.  She also programs her own solo recitals yearly at the Concord Community Music School.  She is a member of the Handel and Haydn Society chorus, an all-professional ensemble that specializes in historically informed performances of music from the Baroque and Classical eras. 

Commitment
Andrea is a full-time musician; her only jobs are to teach music and sing.  This allows her to remain focused on being the best artist and teacher that she can be. 

Andrea makes herself available to her students throughout the week.  Her students can communicate with her in between lessons with questions or scheduling concerns.  Each student receives individualized attention.

Reality-based approach to the mechanics of singing
Emotion in music is just as important as playing the notes and rhythms
