about advanced vocal artistry & performance

Develop stronger technique, connect your artistry, and experience the freedom to perform with confidence.

In Advanced Vocal Artistry & Performance, singers are hand-selected by Sarah based on needs, growth, vocal ability, and fit. You’ll feel both challenged to reach your goals and fully supported in an affirming environment with like-minded singers.

At this stage, you’ll refine your vocal technique while exploring a wide range of repertoire — from classical and legit to musical theatre, pop, and beyond. Working across multiple styles and genres, you’ll gain the flexibility to sing with confidence in a variety of performance settings, while also discovering repertoire you may not have been exposed to before — music that can help you feel more deeply connected to who you are becoming as a singer.

You’ll receive weekly in-studio sessions, customized warm-up sequences that connect the dots from where your voice is now to where you want it to be, and optional Individual Spotlight Sessions — private video instruction where you can work with Sarah in between our in-studio sessions for additional artistic or technical support in a one-on-one setting.

Enrollment is by application only.

Singers are carefully placed into groups to ensure the best possible fit and experience for everyone.

You’ll Receive:

  • 7 in-studio sessions (1 hr 15 min) at 64 Norfield Road
  • Individual Spotlight Sessions: Private Video Instruction (up to 5 during the series, optional)
  • Customized vocal warm-up sequences as needed to develop each singer’s technique, with targeted exercises to strengthen and refine technical abilities
  • Access to our growing library of on-demand mini-lessons, vocal warm-ups, guided vocalizing sequences, and mindset exercises during the series

     

Details:

  • Dates: Next group starts January 2026
  • Mondays, 5:30–6:45 pm
