Teaching Philosophy
As a voice teacher, I seek to cultivate authenticity and confidence in my students above all else. Vocal technique is there for the purpose of finding expression and connection. Each of my students is an individual with their own needs, experiences, and goals. It is my job to meet each of these students where they are and to help them in their journeys. I listen and adapt so that I can address the person in front of me. There is no one-size-fits-all approach for the voice.
It is important to me that my studio is a place where my students feel safe to explore their voices, where they can take risks, and where we can have fun together. I am passionate about making my studio a joyful, loving place. It is easy to get caught up in what is not working in the voice, but I find it crucial to focus on what is already working for the student and find ways to grow that.
I am invested in my students’ potential. I care about each of them deeply. I yearn for their success and happiness. I believe in the beauty, power, and vulnerability of their voices. I am grateful for the deep connection that singing together affords us.
TESTIMONIALS

“Working with Cassi has been such an organic-fun-vulnerable-and-rewarding journey of discovery and empowerment! She’s created a judgement free space for me in her lessons where I’ve been able to find my authentic voice and build a healthy practice. Her wealth of knowledge is truly all-encompassing! Our lessons have spanned from the basics of literally how my muscles work and music theory, and stretch all the way to how I can fill my audition book, and the artistry that comes with singing vastly different styles. My voice is able to reach places and play in ways I never could've imagined before. I consider myself so lucky to learn from and create with such a generous, knowledgeable, and gifted musician and teacher!”

"I love the trust between Cassi and I. She trusted the education I had, and then expanded upon it. I can feel myself improving because of the little tweaks we make to make my sound clearer, easier, and fun."

“I was very out of shape vocally and had fallen into some bad habits. It was limiting and constricting. Cassi gave me the tools and techniques to free up my voice. She also gave me the courage to use my whole body as part of my instrument. The result has been truely amazing!!”

“Cassi creates the right environment for anyone to grow in their singing. I’m never afraid to fail with her. I feel like my lessons focus on what I specifically need. She doesn’t use a one size fits all approach.”

“Cassi is truly remarkable. She has a way with words that helps me understand what she's asking for, and I have never seen my voice transform as much as I have in Cassi's studio. She is personable and efficient and has helped me develop a healthier relationship with my voice and artistry. I highly recommend anyone to check out her studio, you will undoubtedly walk out with new tools and some nuggets of vocal wisdom.”
