About Grace
I'm a bubbly, compassionate, goal-oriented professional. I love to make learning fun! I combine fifteen years of experience as a successful vocal performance musician with fifteen years of experience as a coach, ten years as a teacher, and four years as a meditation practitioner to provide dynamic, cutsomized, supportive one-on-one voice lessons to pinpoint your areas for growth and mold you into a dynamite vocalist who operates off authenticity, discipline, sincerity, and pure creativity. Let's shift the course of your singing voice toward brilliance! It's time to become a successful singer. It's time to confidently share your gift with the world. I'm certain that, with my help, you will be closer to this goal than ever before.
I LOVE to see faces light up and lives change when a student experiences their pure voice for the first time. I thrive on solving problems and targeting specific needs for my students. I'm a solutions-oriented teacher and I pay great attention to details. I joy in getting to know my students values, goals, experiences, and building a solid foundation for our student-teacher relationship so we can achieve vocal success in their lessons. It melts my heart to see dedication and passion in the singers I teach and to see them leave our lessons feeling empowered to take on their practice regimen for the week. To witness improvement and wonder in my students brings me satisfaction and fulfillment as a teacher. To see them succeed is my highest joy!
I started teaching from my early teens. I shared vocal technique information with my friends, family, and anyone who seemed like they wanted to learn. I then went on to study at high-performance schools like the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts and Nicholls State University where I solidified my success as a performer of vocal art and a student of vocal pedegogy.

Interview, trial lesson, relationship expectations, goal-setting, and making things happen!
I have worked with studets from the ages of four years old to fifty-three years old with diverse backgrounds, and from beginner to intermediate singers. With my arsenal of skills and performance experience, I am capable of instructing anyone willing and receptive to learning voice.
Demonstrate passion, goal-oriented direction, communicate desires, goals, and expectations. Be sincere and authentic. Be bold, teachable, and ready to learn. Make certain that you will be a great fit for their studio and that your teacher will be a great fit for you. A compatible student-teacher relationship is crucial for your success!
A recent event I am fond of was a private concert I performed for Thibodaux, Louisiana's Music Club at St. John's Episcopal Church. It was a wonderful program with generous and delightful lovers of music. Performing for this audience was fulfilling and satiating. A performance vocalist's delight!

Grace has helped me so much with being more open and comfortable with my voice. She allowed me to express myself in ways through singing that that I have not experienced before.
Gracie is an amazing vocal teacher. I came in with little to no experience with singing, and saw lots of improvement with just the first lessons I took. She is very enthusiastic, fun to learn from, and encouraging all while also being extensively knowledgeable about technique and other factors of singing. She is very good at listening to what you want to learn and makes lessons comfortable and personal. She is also able to communicate what you need to do to improve all while still being positive and motivating. I would definitely recommend taking lessons.
