Singing Lessons with Meghan McKown

Do you want to become a better singer?

teaching philosophy

Every voice is a unique instrument! In my studio I provide a relaxed, positive environment where you'll feel comfortable to sing without inhibitions.

This makes progress easy and enjoyable. Voice lessons are catered to your individual talents and goals. My students sing only what they enjoy and feel passionate about.

Lesson Structure 

Voice lessons are offered in time slots of 30 and 60 minutes - generally once a week. A lesson is split into two parts: Warmup (Vocal stretches, exercises and ear training) and Repertoire.

The amount of focus put on each portion varies from student to student in order to get the best results.

Vocal technique

I am a classically trained vocalist with a degree in Jazz Performance.

I've performed in rock, funk, R&B, Blues, Country and Folk bands and have found that proper vocal technique can be applied to any genre.

I teach with a focus on healthy singing, breath control, ear training and vocal strength and flexibility.
 

The educated vocalist

I arm my students with knowledge on how to read music, choose keys and write their own lead sheets. Ear training and sight singing are a part of every lesson.

Music theory is not drudgery because it is worked into the vocal exercises and repertoire study.

Children's voice lessons & piano lessons

Children's voice lessons are focused on building musicianship and enjoying music. I want them to have fun and love music!

I also offer beginner-intermediate piano lessons to all my young voice students. You can book the lessons back to back for convenience.

I have taught piano to many young singers during my years of teaching. It's a great way to learn to sing and play!

*30 minute lessons are recommended for kids under 12 years.*

Testimonials

"Since I’ve been studying with Meghan, my voice has changed so much. When I met her I had a very timid, weak voice and she taught me through breathing and technique how to strengthen it”

"Our daughter decided to audition for a performing arts school in SoCal.. My daughter had a strong music background but no formal voice lessons, much less classical voice. Meghan was able to, very, very quickly, help her to make gigantic strides in her singing abilities. Meghan is so knowledgeable and helpful and is a joy to work with - both for me as a parent and for my daughter. My daughter aced the audition and is now thrilled to be a part of a classical voice conservatory at a prestigious school. In addition, a Broadway piece my daughter learned with Meghan helped her to land a lead role in a summer production of Pirate of Penzance. Thank you Meghan - for all you do!!!"
