Gwen believes that everyone can find their most beautiful singing voice, and she has the experience to prove it. Whether preparing for auditions with middle- and high-school students or strengthening a love for music with adult students, time spent in the studio is always full of lots of laughter and plenty of hard work. In a voice lesson with Gwen, you can expect to focus on building a healthy and sustainable technical foundation while learning the music that most excites you, including everything from opera to hard rock!
With pedagogical training from The Eastman School of Music and years of real-world teaching experience, Gwen is a seasoned educator and mentor. With her help, Gwen's students land exciting lead roles in school productions, thoroughly prepare for college-level auditions, and join community choruses and ensembles. However, she never loses sight of the fact that each student is on their own musical journey: there is no standard, "one size fits all" curriculum, and Gwen delights in discovering the individual strengths and learning styles of each of her students.
Since 2023, Gwen has primarily taught on faculty at The Hochstein School (located in Rochester, NY). However, she also maintains a private studio of virtual students.
For most folks interested in taking singing lessons, registering at Hochstein will be the best option. Gwen also teaches the Voice Class for Adults offering at Hochstein, which is tailored towards beginning and intermediate adult students. More information is on Hochstein's website!
If you would like to study privately, or are not located in Rochester, please reach out via email to schedule a trial lesson.
