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. :)

I cannot say enough positive things about Gwen. She was always positive, professional and courteous. When I started I had literally no vocal training or experience. Gwen worked with me to find my strengths and weaknesses and I learned so so much from her expertise. She is very educated and also has an amazing voice. She is also very diverse as she can teach many different styles of music. Whatever I chose to work on, Gwen was so supportive and passionate, and a great support to me and my vocal journey.I also got quick responses every time I emailed her a question. She gave me so much advice that helped my voice tremendously!
I did find the virtual lessons a bit more challenging but all in all, Gwen made my virtual lesson experience as positive as possible.
I definitely recommend Baier music for anyone new looking to learn voice, or for an advanced singer looking to work on vocal style or just take their voice to the next level.

From my first session with Gwen I felt safe in her hands when it came to my voice work. I’ve always been a singer but haven’t been in lessons or a choir in over ten years and I wanted to start training my voice again. She encouraged my natural talents and also pushed me to try new styles/genres to experience everything my voice could do. I had to stop lessons when she moved out of state and I miss her so much!

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.
