Voice Teacher
As a voice teacher who excels in finding a balance between discipline and fun, I ardently believe that building a consistent technical foundation goes hand and hand with building confidence as an artist. Attention to breath support and control, easing tension, alignment, registration, resonance, and articulation all lead to increased freedom and emotional interpretation in performance. My teaching style is warm and candid, building trust with the student so feedback can be a positive conversation that fosters excitement to grow. I also frequently utilize physicalization and science-based imagery in my pedagogy, pulling from dance and exercises found in The Vocal Athlete by Marci Daniels Rosenberg and Wendy DeLeo LeBorgne. In my studio, students are encouraged to set their own technical and performance goals and we collaboratively select repertoire to achieve them. I am also a member of NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing) and NOA (National Opera Association).
From my students...
"Micah is a great vocal teacher because she reinforces a positive environment with nice comments that boost my confidence while also giving me very useful feedback. When something needs a bit of fixing she first tells me all of the good things about a piece I just did, and after she gently tells me what we should spend more time on!"

“Micah is my voice teacher and she is FABULOUS. I have learned so many things about my voice that I wouldn’t have known if it weren’t for Micah. She is smart, kind, sweet and really funny.”

"Micah is very patient and takes the time to make sure each student is feeling confident in what they are singing. She gives individual feedback and always gives tangible points to help us improve. She also always gives us positive feedback which is nice to hear as beginners."

"The class environment is very inclusive and she makes all of us feel comfortable which is really important when starting off singing in front of other people."
