Classical & Musical Theater Voice Lessons | Award-Winning Teacher
Van 99.93 € /h
Hello! Welcome to my voice studio. Whether you're exploring singing for the first time, refining technique you already have, or preparing for auditions and performances, I'm here to help you discover what your voice can do.
Good singing isn’t magic... it’s about understanding your instrument, practicing smart, and building confidence over time. I focus on connecting what you learn theoretically to what you actually feel when you sing, so technique becomes intuitive, not confusing. My approach is encouraging, practical, and built to help your voice stay healthy and strong for life.
HOW OUR LESSONS WORK
Every student’s journey with me begins with a conversation about your goals and a gentle assessment of your voice, so that every subsequent lesson is tailored to where you are and where you want to go. A typical one-hour session includes about 30 minutes focused on vocal technique and 30 minutes working with repertoire, though we’ll adjust the structure based on what you need most at any given time.
WHAT WE'LL WORK ON
I will help you reach whatever your individual goals are. I can help you develop strong breathing and breath support, refine your tone quality and intonation, explore vocal anatomy, work on singing posture, expand your range and flexibility, harmonize your vowels, make stylistically appropriate choices, master proper diction and pronunciation in Italian, German, and French when applicable, build performance confidence, develop musical theater technique, and prepare audition materials. I also guide students on vocal health, injury prevention, repertoire selection and career development.
MY CREDENTIALS
I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts in Voice from the Eastman School of Music and will be joining the University of South Dakota as Assistant Professor of Voice and Opera in August 2026. I bring extensive performance experience in opera, art song, concert repertoire, and musical theater, combined with specialized training in vocal pedagogy and voice science.
STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
"This is my second year working with Joshua. I cannot explain the amount of gratitude that I have for his pedagogy and how much he has transformed my voice since I started with him. Joshua is on a completely different level of teaching. His practice techniques are never tedious/boring. Everything I wanted in a voice teacher and more."
"Joshua does a great job at making lessons fun and friendly yet engaging, productive, and interesting. I love his unique vocal exercises and how he explains technique and how he is structuring our lessons around that theory of technique. Overall, Joshua is a fantastic teacher and has helped me progress tremendously in a very short period of time."
"Joshua is an excellent teacher with a natural rapport and sincere enthusiasm towards the progress and success of his students. His standout qualities are his genuine care for his students, excellent teaching persona, and natural ability to create a supportive learning environment."
FAQ
Do I need any singing experience to start?
No! Beginners are absolutely welcome. I teach students of all levels and adjust lessons to match your current abilities.
What if I don’t know what songs I want to learn?
I can suggest repertoire that matches your voice type and interests, or we can explore options together based on what you love to sing.
How quickly will I see progress?
Many students notice improvement within their first few lessons. Consistent practice between lessons accelerates progress significantly.
Can I study both classical and musical theater? What about other genres?
Absolutely! Many students enjoy exploring a variety of singing styles. I specialize in classical and musical theater performance, but we can focus on any genre according to your interests.
What should I prepare before my first lesson?
Just bring enthusiasm and an open mind! You may want to have some songs in mind that you’d like to learn, but this isn’t required.

Over
Hello! I’m Joshua, a professional singer and award-winning voice teacher with a passion for helping students discover, develop, and polish their singing.
My journey as an operatic bass-baritone has taken me to some incredible places... the Rochester Philharmonic, Prague’s historic Estates Theater, and even a planetarium in Bogotà, Colombia, and each experience has shaped how I teach and refined what I believe matters most to sing well.
I teach by grounding concepts like breath support and resonance in real physical sensations, so you understand not just the theory, but what it actually feels like to sing with solid vocal technique. My students have gone on to prestigious music schools including Jacobs School of Music, Mannes School of Music, and the University of Michigan. I'd love to help you reach your goals too!
