Find your inner voice

Singing like speech
Singing should feel as easy as speaking, which allows for expression and having fun. I want my lessons to make sense and to be straightforward! I always encourage students to ask a lot of questions and to be honest about the way they are feeling.
-
Any Style
While you'll be singing whatever music you like best, I'll be teaching you methods rooted in centuries of classical technique. Having a confident base of technique allows for the singer to apply principals to other types of music, without sacrificing vocal health and ability.
I am comfortable helping musicians with song-writing, as well as questions of musical style in various genres.
-
Any skill level
My teaching is geared towards any learner. That could be for any gender, age, skill level, even if it's your first time singing. Anyone is able to learn how to sing, even if someone is having trouble matching pitch in the beginning.

Student Testimonials
“Always felt insecure about my singing, but wanted to get better. After setting goals together, Nathaniel catered our lessons to best suit me and achieve our milestones. His patience, insight and coaching was greatly appreciated and helped me make tremendous progress”
-Thomas Prevost, 25 years old Singer/Songwriter
"From the get-go, we hit it off mah-velously! I had studied with a number of teachers over the years and performed with many professional and semiprofessional performing arts groups, including the Edmonton and Mississauga Opera choruses, but fell out of singing shape due to Covid. I told Nathaniel that he was working with someone not only willing to learn, but with someone who would put in the work. The most recent sessions were dedicated to working the upper range, up to A-natural (although I would have to vocalize quite a bit to attempt that!). However, learning some new approaches with Nathaniel, I found that I could do this with a more “natural” voice and that I could stretch the vocal chords more easily. Working with Nathaniel was a very pleasant and useful experience."
-Kevin Miller, 67 years old Operatic Baritone
