Introduction: Hi, my name is Ann Souren. I specialize in contemporary singing styles. I address the individual needs of students and tailor my lessons to meet their needs. The lessons are dynamic, fun, and extremely time-efficient. I aim for results, and I guarantee results. Most of my students feel the difference even after the first session. It usually takes me just 2-3 months to turn a complete beginner into a singer. I strongly believe that with the right teacher anyone who can speak and has an ear for music can become a singer. I have 20 years of experience as a vocal coach and more than 35 years experience as a professional singer/recording artist, singing on stages of different caliber, as well as in the studio. I know what it takes to become an outstanding performer. I have performed with various live bands, orchestras, big bands and shared the stage with Grammy award winners Yolanda Adams, Diane Schuur, Patti Austin, Richard Marx, Leo Sayer and many more. I'm passionate about sharing all of my knowledge and experience with students who are ready to take their first steps into the music industry, or hobbyists, who simply love music and singing. I helped thousands of people around the world learn how to sing or improve their existing singing technique. It makes me so happy to see how my students grow with every lesson. I love to inspire people! It's such a wonderful and rewarding feeling to know that you have helped so many people realize their dreams! I equally enjoy teaching complete beginners, amateurs and professional singers.

Ann is a great voice teacher. I feel my singing voice is stronger and more confident after just a few months of lessons. She has a very wide range of experience and helped me with genres ranging from children's music to pop music. She really listened to my voice during lessons and could diagnose trouble spots to work on, and then would have an exercise to help iron out the issue. During the lesson I feel like she is my personal advocate, while still giving honest feedback. She also challenged me to unlock new registers in my voice that I didn't think were possible before. Overall a great experience.

I knew I wanted to continue working with Ann after our first session. I was simply looking for a teacher that can help me improve in karaoke and belting out my favorite songs at home, but I didn’t expect to find a new self-care practice! Ann is so affirming and generous with her sessions, she really takes the time to understand what’s going on with my voice. I felt comfortable with her right away and my confidence is soaring. If you’re like me and have been thinking about talking singing lessons “just for fun,” you will not regret booking Ann!

I don’t think words can describe how amazing Ann has been for me. I’m a Pakistani living in Maryland who has always secretly wanted to sing professionally. Of course that wasn’t the safe choice for a Pakistani immigrant and I became a doctor instead and moved to USA. My love for singing got buried underneath all the work and I pretty much forgot how happy it made me and how much I needed it in my life…until I met Ann. It almost feels like divine intervention because one random day I just felt like I want to do something for myself. Something other than work and being a physician, mom and wife. I went onto Thumbtack and found Ann with her glowing reviews. I was amazed at how responsive she was even with her incredibly busy schedule and in no time at all I was doing FaceTime lessons with her in San Francisco while sitting on the other side of the country in Maryland. I know this review is getting incredibly long but I feel I owe it to her to say all this. Ann changed my life. She unearthed that deep buried passion I had had for singing as a young girl in Pakistan. She made me believe in myself even when I would cringe listening to my recordings. The tips, exercises and coaching she provided made a world of difference to my voice. I actually heard myself able to sing in a way I didn’t think I was capable of. The experience was emotional and exhilarating. I know it may sound a bit excessive to describe singing lessons this way but it truly was an exceptional experience working with Ann. She is an amazing teacher and a beautiful person. If you are reading this trying to find yourself a teacher for vocal lessons even with no singing experience at all, consider yourself extremely lucky to have come across Ann’s profile ❤️

Ann was very welcoming which greatly calmed my nerves as this was my first one-on-one singing lesson. She explained singing exercises and techniques in a clear manner that was easy to understand. After my lesson I felt more confident and motivated to sing. I will definitely be continuing with the lessons and I highly recommend Ann to anyone who is thinking about improving their singing.

I recently had my first singing lesson with my new coach, and I have to say, it was a fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, my coach made me feel at ease and comfortable in the studio. We started with some vocal warm-ups, and I was impressed with how knowledgeable and skilled my coach was at guiding me through the exercises. Throughout the lesson, my coach was patient, encouraging, and very insightful in identifying areas where I needed improvement. They took the time to listen to me sing and provided constructive feedback that was specific and helpful. I felt like I learned a lot in just one session, and I can't wait to see how my skills will improve with continued lessons. What I appreciated the most about my coach was their positive attitude and willingness to work with me at my own pace. They created a supportive and uplifting environment where I felt like I could really let go and work on improving my vocal abilities. I left the lesson feeling energized and excited about my progress. Overall, I highly recommend my new singing coach to anyone looking for a skilled and experienced professional to help them improve their singing abilities. I'm looking forward to continuing my lessons and can't wait to see how much I will improve with my coach's guidance.
