Zayn Mir

As a classically trained tenor and music educator, I teach voice, piano, and music theory with an emphasis on healthy technique, strong musicianship, and individual artistic expression. Since 2024, I have taught students from ages 6 to 60 at Meter Music School in my hometown of Seattle. Immersed in the Pacific Northwest arts scene, I work as a professional church musician and have collaborated with local organizations including Lowbrow Opera Collective and Choral Arts Northwest. I have also appeared as a soloist at the Cascade Song Festival and Seattle Bach Festival.

My training includes study in voice and piano at the University of Washington, where I am in completing my final year of my Bachelor of Music degree in Voice Performance. I have been recognized for my academic and artistic achievement through awards including the Peeler-Horan Scholarship for the Performing Arts, the Mary Katherine Mackenzie and Mary Ann Whitmore Endowed Scholarship, and First Place in the Western Washington NATS competition.

I am passionate about making music accessible and meaningful for all learners, especially individuals who may not have seen themselves represented in music education. My goal is to create a supportive environment where every student can develop their skills, confidence, and unique artistic voice.

I have been teaching private voice, piano, and music theory lessons since 2024 and currently teach about 15 in-person students in Seattle. I am excited to be expanding to teaching online with Lessonface!

I aim to build a strong technical and theoretical foundation for students while engaging with their creative interests. In voice and piano lessons, I focus on building healthy, effective technique and teach the fundamentals of musicianship. In music theory lessons, I can delve deeper into form, motivic development, phrase structure, and harmonic analysis. 

I teach across a wide variety of styles, including jazz, musical theatre, pop, and classical. 

NOTES:
I teach novice to intermediate piano (intermediate example: Clementi Sonatinas, Chopin Waltzes). 
I teach voice at all levels.
I teach music theory at all levels.
