For Annie, voice lessons are more than a place to learn to sing. They are a place where students feel seen, discover what they’re capable of, and learn to believe in themselves.

As a voice teacher, performer, and certified life coach, Annie combines healthy vocal technique, artistic expression, and personal growth to help students become stronger singers and more confident performers. She specializes in working with teenage musical theatre performers who want to develop a healthy, reliable mix, expand their vocal range, bring characters to life through song, and walk into auditions feeling proud of what they have to offer. She also loves working with young children ages 4–8, helping them develop their singing and dance skills while building creativity and confidence.

What makes Annie’s coaching unique is her focus on the person behind the voice. She creates a supportive environment where students feel safe to take risks, make mistakes, and discover what makes them unique. Alongside vocal technique, she helps students develop more positive self-talk, move beyond self-doubt, and approach challenges with greater confidence. Her goal is for students to feel empowered to put themselves out there, embrace audition opportunities, and trust in their own abilities.

With a background in musical theatre performance, dance, and music direction, certification through the Institute for Vocal Advancement (IVA), and 11 years of private voice teaching experience, Annie brings both technical expertise and a passion for helping young performers grow.

For Annie, success is about more than hitting the right notes. It’s seeing students walk into auditions with greater confidence, speak to themselves with more kindness, and begin to believe in what’s possible for them — both onstage and beyond.
