About
There is no singular aspect of performing that is most important. All aspects are essential for a well-rounded education. I teach because I love to see people who express the same interest I have for performing, and it's my mission to cultivate that passion in others.

Miss Gwen is an amazing voice teacher! I still have lessons with her now! She has helped me improve and grow in areas I never knew I needed improvement on! I love her teaching methods and the way I feel included in making decisions in songs I’m going to sing/perform! She also updates you on auditions that are coming up, so you can prepare for them. She’s extremely versatile too, so she’s not exclusive to one genre of music. I 1,000,000,000,000/10 recommend her for any level of teaching for voice lessons🥰

Ms. Gwen has been a wonderful teacher for my daughter. She is already learning how to read music after just a few lessons and loves practicing what they worked on. Ms. Gwen is kind, compassionate, understanding, and a naturally gifted music teacher. :)

We love Gwen, my 7-year-old has been flourishing under Gwen’s guidance. She is very patient and customizes her teaching approach according to the student.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The pricing I use varies depending on the needs and goals of the student.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to start with a consultation where I sit down with a potential client and explain how they would fit in if they were to choose me as their teacher. From there I explain how we can achieve goals (or create goals together) in taking lessons.
For kids I like to use a method book that is best suited for them and use a practice journal to note their progress.
I also like to use a practice journal for my adult students as well.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance with a minor in theater and a Master's in Music Performance with a concentration in Vocal Pedagogy. I also have taken 5 years of piano lessons and 2 more years of piano in undergrad.
