I am a working vocalist in Los Angeles and a professional voice finder. It's my passion to work with unique singers from all around the world and guide them in their artistic journey. Singing is a joy, an art, and a lifestyle to me. I'd love to share that joy with you.
Lessons can be done from anywhere in the world via Skype / Google Hangout / Zoom! All you need is an internet connection, some speakers or headphones, and yourself :)
Please have the song you’d like to work on picked out or if you prefer, I can suggest a couple songs I think might be suited to your voice/encourage growth for you.
Lessons begin with vocal exercises, which are the fastest way for you to learn what healthy singing feels like in your body. I’ll point out small but effective adjustments you can make to improve your tone and quality. We use these exercises to improve pitch, flexibility, placement, technique—you name it! Every lesson is tailored to your needs and abilities.
After vocal exercises we’ll move on to the material that you’ve selected. We’ll work with that song and I’ll help you identify adjustments you can make to sound your best!
It is always my first priority to avoid vocal damage. Throughout the entire lesson, I will guide you on how to sing safely and comfortably so your vocal chords stay healthy and flexible!
Lessons are $50USD per half hour and can range anywhere from a half hour to an hour and a half. I recommend at least bi-weekly lessons, and weekly lessons for shorter lessons. We are re-programming your muscle memory and repetition is key!

Testimonials
"Perfect Teacher"
"Highly Recommend"
"Kind, Patient, & Funny"
This is the first voice lesson I've ever had and Catherine made it so easy. All of the exercises were completely new to me, and she expertly walked me through them with encouragement and grace. She pointed out strengths that I had no idea existed, and that made me feel talented in an area I hadn't ever considered before! I love that I did something completely out of my comfort zone and Catherine was the perfect teacher.
I sing from my throat and she immediately focused on exercises to get me to sing from my diaphragm. She showed me how to engage my head voice.
There was laughter, and patience. There was an easy breakdown of what we were doing, along with the explanation of why we were doing it. I would highly recommend her and think she would be great with kids. I felt like a kid again.
Catherine is a voice teacher unlike any else. She showed me parts of my voice I didn't even know existed! She is very knowledgeable about the physiology of the voice and how it affects your sound. She is showing me to how to sing powerfully without any vocal damage. Best of all, she is kind, patient and funny :) My lessons are so fun and I look forward to it every week! I can feel my voice getting so much stronger and more clear already and am so excited to keep working on it.
