Music Lesson Instructors in Dedham, Massachusetts (Norfolk County)

I am a freelance performer and voice instructor living and working in the greater Boston area. My vocal training began early; I started to sing in church when I was four years old, and began performing regularly in musicals with a local youth theater company when I was nine. My love for music and performing only grew from there, leading eventually to a Bachelor of Music in Voice (Gordon College) and a Master of Music in Opera (Longy School of Music, with Distinction). Performing is one of the greatest joys of my life, and my experience encompasses a broad range of opera, operetta, traditional and interactive theater, and film. Some of my recent favorite performances include lead roles in Lakme and Die Fledermaus, as well as the lead role in the world premiere of the newly composed opera, The Little Blue One.

I have been teaching voice privately for ten years, and currently teach students in my home as well as maintain a studio at Brookwood School in Manchester, MA. I have taught students ages 5-68, and have worked with beginning as well as highly advanced singers. I love the prospect of helping a student achieve their personal musical goals, and every lesson is geared towards attaining these objectives. I am willing to work with all styles of singing, but my approach is classical. I firmly believe that freeing the breath and the voice from tension produces the most beautiful, appealing sound, regardless of the type of music one is singing. My main goals in lessons are to foster good breath control, accurate intonation, expression, and musicality.

I also teach beginning piano to students grades pre K-4.

All of my students have the opportunity to perform in an annual private studio recital, and select students are given the privilege of competing in the annual NATS classical and musical theater competitions. Students are also eligible to receive tuition discounts for Rising Stars Camp.

I have flexible availability for lessons Monday-Friday. Rates are $30/half hour, $45/forty five minutes, and $60/hour.

I hope to see you in the studio soon!

My students say:

"Kim is an excellent operatic voice teacher. She instills correct technique in her vocal students and encourages regular practice of this technique, even in an everyday setting (for example, posture and diaphragmatic breathing). Kim is very personable and has a fairly flexible time schedule. Her place of operation is organized and comfortable. Personally, I have been treated like a person and not a student or customer, which was unexpected and pleasant.
If you live in the Boston area, her venue in North Reading is a bit out of the way; however, Kim is skilled in her profession and well worth the travel. She is patient with mistakes and problems. If you are singing just for the joy of singing, and want to be trained classically, then she is a wise choice."

"My ten year old daughter has a passion for singing, and wanted to take voice lessons. After doing some research, we found Kim. I couldn't be more pleased with our choice! Kim is wonderful with my daughter. The lessons are the perfect mix of fun and structure. Kim has a gentle seriousness about her that is great for teaching a child. My daughter counts the days until her next lesson. She has been taught how to stand, breath, and is learning how to read the notes that make the music she loves to sing! "
