Voice Lessons
Jodelle has been teaching private voice lessons for over 15 years. Many of her students have gone on to pursue careers as professional singers and performers
Being a good singer comes down to proper technique which incorporates BODY, MIND and SPIRIT.
BODY-The most important aspects of the body portion are breath, posture and making a nice big space in the back of the throat by raising the soft pallet and stretching the tongue down. It is hard work but there are many exercises we do to train each of those specific areas.
MIND-Mindset plays a very important role. Positive thinking and patience are key. Learning to sing properly is a very slow process and there are always improvements to be made. Be gentle with yourself.
SPIRIT-Discovering and making the deepest connection with yourself is important in setting yourself apart from the rest. Singing is such a wonderful form of expressing our true selves. Don’t try to imitate other singers. It’s never too late to find YOUR voice.
What Jodelle enjoys most about teaching are the personal connections built with each individual student. It brings Jodelle such joy to see a student improve their voice, technique and confidence.

I was very new to voice lessons when I first started working with Jodelle and she has done an incredible job articulating the importance of breath work, vocalizing and proper mouth placement when singing. She is really good at figuring out what my personal needs are and providing me with tools I can use to improve my vocal range.

- I took vocal lessons with Jodelle when I was in high school. Almost a decade later, I still use the tricks she taught me! She challenged me connect with my natural speaking register and helped me develop a strong, smooth, healthy and unique tone. The breath-focused warm-ups she taught me are regularly used tools in my vocal toolkit. At the time, I was just beginning writing songs. A songwriter herself, Jodelle was an encouraging example for me. She helped me perform my songs with stronger vocals and more confidence. The methods Jodelle taught me help me to this day. Whenever I come across a challenging part when I perform or record, I feel equipped to break it down and tackle it! -Olivia R

- Jodelle didn’t just improve and strengthen my voice, but she gave me confidence I couldn’t find in myself before. She built a comforting environment where mistakes were celebrated because that was a sign of progress. In just 2 years with her I found the confidence and technique to sing solos in Carnegie Hall, college auditions, high school musicals, or even at my own graduation. Not only were our lessons extremely helpful, but they were fun. Jodelle was both a teacher and a friend to me and I wish I had found her earlier! -Hayley C
