About the lesson

We meet for an hour long lesson, typically spend 10-15 minutes speaking about goals, expectations, vocal health and practice habits, and then proceed with vocalises and warm ups. Not many people realize that the vocal folds are a muscle group, much like your bicep or quads! They can be trained to grow and strengthen. Through a series of exercises designed specifically for each individual student and their voice only, we work on chest voice, head voice, the “mixed” voice and more. After 20-30 minutes of this, I would ask the student to sing something they absolutely love so I can not only hear their voice in song, but really get a feel for their taste in music to appropriately assign future repertoire.

I work with beginners of all ages (7-75) that are just starting their journey in singing as well as professionals on Broadway, national tours, recording artists, etc.

Desiree is a fantastic instructor! We have been working together for years and no one understands my voice better than her. She is encouraging, funny, warm, positive and smart. Her vocal warm up design is AMAZING and my voice has evolved SO MUCH since we began working together. She brings much awareness to my performance practice and challenges me to be the best artist at all times.

I’ve been in the musical theater industry since 2010 and I wouldn’t trust my voice with anyone else. I only wish I had met her sooner!

Desiree is wonderful! I started out as an absolute beginner and with the belief that I cannot sing. She has taught me otherwise and I’m enjoying every lesson with her, leaving energized and happy at the end of them. She is supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable, open, interested, respectful, works with you - for me she is the perfect teacher. So happy I found her and can only recommend her!

Desiree is the BEST. She's warm, patient, encouraging while still being critical and offering very specific feedback. She's always super open to try new exercises and experiment and is mature enough to admit when she makes a mistake (which is rarely ever, but lots of teachers are super stubborn about their methods.) She personalizes lessons for each student, understanding that everyone needs something different to grow. LOVE her!!!

Desiree is so kind, positive, laid back, and most of all, knowledgeable! She's amazing at communicating adjustments in a way that I can very easily understand but still learn something about the anatomy behind it.

It's incredible how I can feel and hear my voice change over the course of one lesson. Awesome teacher and awesome person!
