Everyone has the right to learn how to sing. Whether you are pursuing singing as a hobby, a career, or a means to build confidence in other disciplines such as acting or public speaking, I am excited to help you achieve success. I understand first hand that singing is an incredibly personal event and lessons are offered in a non-competitive environment where singing is approached according the student’s pace, interests, and goals. It is never too late to discover your potential as a singer or to learn the skills that lead to confident, healthy, and beautiful singing. I am committed to offering my students high quality instruction at an affordable rate, hoping that this will to allow them to build singing and voice study more consistently into their routine.
Lessons are taught one-on-one, in a relaxed setting, and are tailored to the goals and interests of each student. Lessons can include anything from an introduction or review of the essentials (posture, breathing, vocal support, tone production), to song study, to audition preparation. Singing is an aerobic activity, where your body is your instrument. My teaching technique emphasizes the vitality of a strong mind-body connection, reliable vocal support, ease of vocal production, vocal health and longevity. Whether you sing rock, pop, r&b, jazz, country, art song, opera, or musical theatre, voice lessons will equip you with greater vocal agility, stamina, and confidence.
I have been taking voice lessons from Sarah for almost half a year and in this time, she has improved my vocal range and agility tremendously. Her feedback for my original compositions is invaluable. I recommend Sarah as a voice teacher for students of any level.

I came back to singing after quite a long hiatus. My goals with Sarah were to get back in shape vocally, and feel confident going to Musical Theatre auditions; as well as reconnect mind and instrument. What i received in my lessons with Sarah was much more than this. My confidence not only as a vocalist but as an actor and in my personal life were rather low when we started. Sarah guided me through an amazing journey of self discovery. With emphasis on how our minds and bodies connect and using imagery that just resonated so well with me; Sarah helped me open everything up. My confidence grew and grew, which translated into my singing and life in general. My new mantra “assume success” is taken directly from the lips of Sarah Reynolds. Her future students are so blessed.

I had always thought of singing as something that my mom or my friend did well, and that someday I should really take lessons to see if I had any talent. I wasn’t sure about the talent part. I had absolutely no experience-no choir or singing groups as a child, and I had avoided karaoke whenever possible. In my first six months, with Sarah’s practical and fun approach, I am learning my range, and developing basic skills that I am excited to build on. Sarah explains things so clearly, in a way that someone without formal training can really work and grow with. I have also strengthened my speaking voice, and learned how to protect myself from the overuse that I am really prone to… my only regret is not starting sooner.

I worked with Sarah from 2005-2008 after deciding to take voice lessons to improve my shower singing. Now I not only sing along with the radio better, but I find I often use her techniques in my daily life. When I’m feeling stressed, I remind myself to relax my face muscles. When I am leading a group meeting, I now know how to project my voice without causing strain. Sarah is a fun, caring instructor. During my sessions with her, I felt I was not only being taught by a teacher, I was being cared for by a friend.

I worked with Sarah to prepare a musical theater piece. This was my first musical since high school. I was nervous and wasn’t sure I could pull off an entire song on my own. Sarah helped to calm my nerves and feel prepared. I really appreciated the amount of time she spent teaching theory, timing, and structure. I have a better understanding of how to use my voice and I can’t wait to audition for my next show!
