About
Gretchen Conrad is a trained classical vocalist and emerging composer. In 2014, she graduated from Cornish College of the Arts with a Bachelor of Music. She is a founding member of Fine Rain Falling, an all-female a cappella ensemble, and a member of the St. James Women's Schola.

Teaching Style
My lessons are highly personalized as I believe that there is no one path for every student. In addition to learning pieces from the lesson book, I also incorporate theory and history for perfect performance practice. Using these methods, my students develop into well rounded musicians that are able to tackle new and challenging pieces.
