quality instruction - amazing coaches

Breakthrough Vocal Camp is presented by three master teachers who have decades of vocal performance experience, in addition to a passion for coaching singers of all ages and abilities, training them in the areas of vocal technique, stage presence and performance.  At camp, each student will have at least two one-on-one 30-minute private coaching sessions focusing on vocal technique and stage presence/performance.  Throughout the camp, singers will have the opportunity to work in group master classes and training sessions with each of our talented teachers.  There will be other fun activities including crafts and games for the campers throughout the day.

She is now thriving in Alaska as a musician & teacher and has no plans of leaving state any time soon.  She just received the Silver award of Best Vocal Coach/Studio 2016 from Alaska Dispatch Newspaper's "Best Of Alaska" polls and took top awards in The ARTS International Talent Search in Burbank, CA December 2016.
