Teaching
In addition to being on the vocal faculty at the Jazzschool Community Music School in Berkeley, CA, I offer private lessons at my home Voice Studio in San Francisco's Mission district and via Zoom to anywhere around the globe
I teach all levels from beginner to advanced, and coach working professional singers in everything from vocal function to repertoire development to arranging and performance. Learn how to apply your instrument with flexibility, strength, dynamic expression, and nuance and sharpen your musicianship and live performance skill set.
Fully certified in all three levels of Somatic Voicework™ The Lovetri Method, Andrea teaches according to the principles of Somatic Voicework, applicable to all styles of Contemporary Commercial Music (CCM).
All initial lessons/coaching sessions for new students/clients will be conducted via Zoom, 30 minutes minimum, 60 minutes optional. Once you book online and pre-pay, you will receive a Zoom link directly from me for the appointed date/time. If we’re a good fit and you choose to continue study with me (and you live in the San Francisco Bay Area), you may elect to meet in person in my Mission District home studio. If you’ve already had an initial lesson, you may book 60 minutes in studio from the booking page.
