Judy is a great vocal coach, she also is very fun to work with. I highly recommend this even if you are an absolute beginner.
Singing Lessons for Young Adults
Technique - Confidence - Self Belief
Private singing lessons for young adults who want to sing — and the parents who want them to believe in themselves.
This Is For You, If...
...your teenager has been asking about singing lessons — or you've noticed them singing around the house and suspect there's something there worth nurturing.
Private voice lessons for young adults aged 12 and up are designed to meet students where they are: whether they're complete beginners, already involved in school chorus or theater, or somewhere in between. The goal isn't to manufacture a performer. It's to give a young person a skill they'll carry for life, and a space where their voice — and their confidence — can grow without pressure.
A note on commitment:
Singing is a physical skill, and like any physical skill it develops through consistent practice. Students who show up regularly and practice between lessons — even briefly — make progress that genuinely surprises them. An introductory lesson is a great way to see if it feels like the right fit before committing to a regular schedule.
FAQs
Is 12 old enough to start serious voice training? Yes — and it's actually an ideal time. Students this age are developmentally ready to engage with technique, and building good vocal habits early pays dividends for years. That said, lessons are always adapted to where a student's voice is in its development.
My child is shy or self-conscious about their voice. Is that okay? It's completely normal, and honestly pretty common at this age. A private lesson setting — no audience, no auditions, no comparison to other students — tends to be exactly the right environment for a self-conscious singer to open up at their own pace.
How do I know if they're ready? If they're interested, they're ready. Motivation matters far more than natural ability at the start.
About My Approach
I was born an average singer with debilitating performance anxiety.
I didn't find my voice until I was well into my thirties. It was life-changing, not just because of singing, but because I was becoming the person I had told myself I couldn't be.
That's the power of singing. Our voices can't be separated from our identity. That makes it ground zero for building confidence and self-worth.
These lessons help young people find their voices - literally and metaphorically.

Our daughter has been with Judy for the past two years. The growth we have seen during this time, as a young woman and concerning her vocal skills, has been exciting. Judy has the temperament and the experience both to affirm and yet gently challenge her all at once.
