Hi, I’m Claire — an opera-trained voice teacher specializing in classical voice, musical theatre, audition preparation, competition coaching, and personalized vocal technique.
My lessons are designed for students who want more than a one-size-fits-all voice lesson. I create an individualized plan for each student based on their voice, goals, repertoire, strengths, and current challenges. Whether a student is preparing for an audition, building healthier technique, working toward a competition, or simply wanting to sing with more confidence and freedom, I tailor each lesson to their specific needs.
I received my Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from Seoul National University, graduating with honors, and completed my Master of Music in Classical Voice Performance at Boston University as a scholarship recipient. Since 2013, I have taught students of many ages and levels in classical voice, musical theatre, audition coaching, diction, vocal technique, and performance preparation.
My students have achieved a wide range of outcomes, including acceptance into programs such as the Berklee Young Artist Program, scholarships to schools and music programs, competition awards, musical theatre casting, and successful audition results.
One thing that makes my studio different is the level of structure and follow-up I provide. Before and after lessons, I prepare personalized lesson plans, practice notes, and lesson logs so students know exactly what we worked on, what to practice, and how to continue improving between sessions.
My goal is to help each student build a voice that is healthy, expressive, reliable, and truly their own.
Student Outcomes
My students have achieved results including:
• Acceptance into the Berklee Young Artist Program
• Scholarships to schools and music programs
• Competition awards
• Musical theatre roles and audition acceptances
• Successful preparation for performances, recordings, and school music opportunities
I support students not only with vocal technique, but also with repertoire selection, audition strategy, interpretation, diction, and performance confidence.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is warm, detailed, and highly personalized.
I do not teach every student in the same way. Each voice has different habits, strengths, tensions, and musical goals, so I adjust the lesson plan based on what the student needs most in that moment.
In a typical lesson, we may work on breath support, resonance, registration, diction, musical phrasing, high notes, vocal freedom, stage expression, or audition repertoire. For classical singers, I focus on healthy technique, tone, language, phrasing, and musical style. For musical theatre and contemporary singers, I work on vocal efficiency, storytelling, diction, stylistic choices, and sustainable singing.
After each lesson, I provide clear notes or a lesson log so students can remember the exercises, corrections, and practice goals from the session. This helps students make steady progress instead of forgetting what to work on between lessons.
A typical lesson may include:
1. Vocal check-in and warm-ups
2. Technique work tailored to the student’s current needs
3. Repertoire or audition song coaching
4. Specific corrections and practice strategies
5. A follow-up lesson log or practice plan
My studio is a good fit for students who want thoughtful, structured, and encouraging voice training.
*I provide personalized lesson plans and follow-up lesson logs so students can track their progress, remember corrections, and practice more effectively between sessions.
Curriculum
Online setup: quiet space, stable internet, and any smartphone/USB mic you have; I provide backing tracks or piano as needed
My curriculum is personalized for each student’s voice, goals, repertoire, and experience level. Instead of using the same lesson plan for everyone, I create a structured path based on what each student needs most.
Core areas of study may include:
1. Vocal Foundation
Students learn healthy breath support, posture, body awareness, resonance, jaw and tongue release, and balanced vocal production.
2. Vocal Technique
We work on registration, range, tone quality, high notes, flexibility, vowel shaping, diction, and reducing unnecessary throat tension.
3. Repertoire Coaching
Students apply technique directly to songs, arias, musical theatre pieces, pop/K-pop songs, audition cuts, or competition repertoire.
4. Musicality and Expression
Lessons include phrasing, dynamics, text interpretation, storytelling, style, emotional expression, and stage presence.
5. Audition and Competition Preparation
For students preparing for auditions, school programs, competitions, or performances, I help with repertoire selection, technical polish, diction, interpretation, confidence, and performance strategy.
6. Practice Structure and Follow-Up
Students receive personalized practice notes, lesson logs, and clear goals so they know exactly what to work on between lessons.
Each student’s curriculum may look different depending on their goals. Some students focus on classical technique, some on musical theatre or auditions, some on healthy vocal habits, and others on confidence, musicality, or performance preparation.
