Have you always wanted to learn to sing contemporary music?
Are you the type of singer who has a love for singing but never learned the basics? Maybe you’ve been scouring Youtube for singing tutorials and you’ve felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of styles and exercises for training your voice. Perhaps you’ve been told you lack “talent” or are “too old” to explore a long-held passion to sing. Or maybe you have a child who loves to sing and has been asking for singing lessons.
Whether you dream is to sing in your shower, on the church worship team, or to sing professionally, let’s work together to achieve your singing goals.
Yes, you have a voice, and it’s waiting to be discovered…
…And I’d love to help you discover your voice.
My name is Charlene, and I’ve been singing since I was a teenager. I know firsthand how thrilling and challenging it is to embark on the great journey of becoming a vocalist. Since starting that journey, I’ve been singing on worship teams, as a soloist for weddings and special events, in bands and on recordings for many years.
And if there is anything that I might love more than singing, it’s being able to empower others to discover their own voices as a voice teacher. No matter where you are in your journey, I’d love to help you get to where you want to be.
