My Teaching Philosophy

My teaching style is built off the idea that singing is and should be fun! Singing is playful, it is creative, it is healing, and it is powerful. Singing opens up pathways for us to express ourselves and brings deeper awareness to our body, breath, and voice.

In your first lesson with me, I will meet you where you are. I love hearing about what kind of music inspires you, your wildest singing aspirations, and what part of your voice you need help discovering. From there, I will cater my teaching to you and your goals.

Together, we will work towards gaining a greater understanding on all that your voice has to offer. I see lessons as a way to unlock your unique singing voice through proper breathing technique and releasing of tension.

Singing should feel good!

My desire is that every student finds trust in their voice and the freedom to express, and with that I hope each student finds deeper trust and confidence in themselves.

Testimonials from Students

“I was a blank slate when I came to Justine. I had no knowledge of music, pitches, tone, etc. With her, I have learned some of the many, many intricacies behind music and singing. I have discovered much about my voice and what it is capable of and that there is still so much more to learn and explore. Justine is a very patient, kind, and understanding teacher. She is encouraging and enthusiastic. She empowers me and provides a safe space to be yourself.”

Azalia, Beginner Voice Student, Age 31
”Justine is a very supportive and encouraging teacher. She tailors to what you specially want to work on with each lesson, and doesn’t let traditional voice categories hold you back from learning the music you want to learn in your own way. Not only have I become a better musician from taking lessons from Justine, but she’s also genuinely a kind person who is fun to work with. She is so easy to feel comfortable around and that makes learning from her so enjoyable."

Sabrina, Intermediate Voice Student, Age 29
“When I said I really aspired to be a well-rounded vocalist, Justine’s response was 'and I can absolutely help you with that'. And I knew she meant it. I have felt so empowered, so heard by and so lifted by Justine. Singing is such a vulnerable thing to begin with, and I have big dreams when it comes to what I want to achieve, which adds vulnerability. And she has only ever made me feel like her purpose in working with me is to make those dreams come true.”

Kristen, Advanced Voice Student, Age 31
“My goal when I started taking voice lessons was to feel more confident about singing in front of others. Since working with Justine, I find that I can sing higher with greater control, which has boosted my confidence, expanded my versatility, and made singing in front of others much more enjoyable. Justine takes notes and remembers details about things that work for me and issues that I have. She carefully and patiently listens to my experiences and talks me through them. She pays attention to my goals and aspirations and internalizes them. With Justine's support, I feel empowered to make progress in whatever directions I choose.”

James, Intermediate Voice Student
“I began singing lessons as a complete newcomer with no former singing experience or really any musical experience. Justine has helped me find my voice and explore what I am capable of. She has also helped me gain more control and confidence with my voice as we continue to hone my skill set. Justine is an incredibly kind and patient teacher. She will give honest feedback and is always creative and excited about how we can approach the areas that I am looking to improve.”
