Jillian Comrie

2025 Teacher of the year in Voice and Pop Voice!! I’m a creative, encouraging and patient teacher, who specializes in tailoring my music lessons to fit you! As a certified music educator with 17 years of teaching experience, I have developed effective strategies and tools to coach students with a wide variety of learning styles and interests to become successful musicians. My passion is sharing my music expertise with students and I would love to create music lessons specifically designed to help you reach your goals.

I am an expert in classical voice and piano and I have decades of practical experience teaching and performing pop music by ear. Students come to me with a vast array of goals, including belting out pop ballads, improvising on the piano, mastering opera arias, performing Beethoven and Debussy piano classics, and writing their own songs. I teach all ages and beginners and professionals alike will find that my supportive and detailed approach helps them make steady progress toward developing a high level of musicianship.

Lessons include original warm-up videos, colorful visuals, creative music games, and a thoughtfully prepared lesson plan. Young students participate in music games that they ask to play again and again, building a strong foundation in music theory without even realizing it.

If you have any questions or don't see a suitable schedule on my calendar, feel free to reach out. I’d love to help you find a good time for your lessons and start your musical journey together!

I have a degree in music education and extensive experience in classical voice and piano, as well as decades of experience performing and teaching popular music. This experience allows me to teach you the best techniques that will help you perform your favorite music with excellence, creativity and artistry!
