Whether one's musical interests are in modern music or the classics, technique is vital. Learning how to use one's voice as an instrument in singing lessons with Josie will deepen our understanding of ourselves and the music!
Josie is a musician and board certified music therapist originally from North Carolina that plays the flute, oboe, and English horn. With a Bachelor's degree in music therapy from Appalachian State University, Josie brings a unique perspective to voice lessons. If you are looking to learn to sing as a form of therapy during your week, a release, to find peace and joy (all things we 100% support), you’ll love Josie!
It is their belief that healing can be found in self-expression, connection, and motivation through love of music. Josie looks forward to sharing and experiencing music with students and clients and watching how music shapes each individual
From Josie: “My belief is that a mentor-student relationship must have a firm foundation in love. Not only should we be supportive and nonjudgmental while we teach, but we should also have a deep love for our subject matter. Self-expression through music is a great love of mine, and one’s knowledge and skill within music allows for a broader range of expression.”
Perfect for adults with daytime availability, Josie is enrolling now for daytime lessons Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and Tuesday/Thursday evenings which are perfect for those with school and work responsibilities.
