How can I help you?

I teach individual voice lessons (online from anywhere or in-person in Norfolk, VA, USA) and am available as a clinician, adjudicator, presenter, or consultant locally, nationally, or worldwide.

Are voice lessons right for you?

Are you curious and committed to learning?

Are you ready to discover your singing voice for the first time or to advance your professional skills and performance?

My voice students are advanced singers and teachers, classical/musical theater/choral singers, as well as beginning adult singers who have always wanted to take singing lessons. My students are mostly adults (age 20-80), however I may also work with motivated teens.

  • “I love Cynthia’s personalized approach to singing…she finds the YOU in your voice and helps you to amplify that talent!”

    ~ Sarah Moody

  • “Cynthia knows exactly what to say to make me adjust my voice so I can sing three times better!  It's uncanny.  Cynthia has taken me from not having sung for 20 years, to singing more and better than I'd dreamed.”

    ~ Matthew Taubmann, tenor

  • “I'm a career pianist & music director, but nearer to the beginning of my journey of investing in myself as a singer. I love studying with Cynthia, because 1), she's fun! and 2) she has such a breadth of knowledge and depth of experience -- she can get into the nerdy, nitty-gritty "why" of a technical thing, or get me out of my head and into my body, as the situation calls for. I've noticed a lot of growth in power, ease, and confidence since I started working with her.”

    ~ Kat Sherrell, author Experiencing Broadway Musicals: A Listener’s Companion

  • “Cynthia approaches each lesson with positivity and a student-centered approach. She takes time to address questions and has thoughtful, helpful insight not only on singing, but vocal anatomy and teaching. She is a wealth of knowledge and I feel very fortunate to study with her!”

    ~ Hannah Cayem, soprano

  • “I have only been studying online with Cynthia for a few months, but I can't say enough about her amazing teaching skills! As a voice teacher myself, Cynthia and I speak the same language. I have benefitted immensely from having a good set of ears to give helpful feedback and technical advice. Cynthia is not only a great technician, but also honors the musician as a whole person. I am so grateful to have found her voice studio!”

    ~ Anna Hersey, DMA, Associate Professor, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh

  • "Taking lessons with Cynthia has been a joy. It's immediately obvious that she has a masterful understanding of vocal pedagogy, all kinds of vocal repertoire, and personal experience as a singer. She has a vocal or physical exercise for any vocal issue I've been experiencing and thoughtful solutions that make me feel like she is personally invested in my singing journey. I look forward to working with her and at the end of every lesson, I say "that was so much fun!”"
