Voice Lessons in Mystic & East Lyme, CT

Your voice is the one instrument you carry everywhere. Learning to use it well takes more than singing along: it takes healthy technique, a trained ear, and a teacher who understands how voices develop at every age.

Learn from a professionally trained vocalist
Voice instruction at The Music Studio is led by founder Jerrica Watrous, a graduate of the Hartt School of Music in Music Education and Vocal Performance. Jerrica is a classically trained lyric soprano, a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing, and is trained in the vocal pedagogy of mixing and belting, so students can sing classical, musical theater, and contemporary styles without straining their voices.

What students accomplish here
Our voice students have earned places in regional and All-State choirs, succeeded in NATS auditions, landed lead roles in school and community theater, and gone on to study music at respected college programs. Whatever your goal, from singing confidently at a family gathering to preparing a college audition, lessons are built around it.

Who we teach
Young singers starting in our group voice class, middle and high school students, musical theater performers, and adults at every level, including complete beginners.
