About

I have over a decade of teaching experience on top of a doctorate in how to teach singing.

My usual students will one day be singing teachers themselves.

I am fortunate to teach about 1000 voice lessons each year - I guarantee I can help you sing clearer, louder, stronger, more comfortably, and above all, beautifully.

    He is not your average voice teacher! He is a bit quirky but a joy to learn form and strikes the right balance between encouraging and demanding.

    I am a tenor majoring in music education going into my senior year. After two years with Dr. Dugan, I have improved incredibly.
    Dr. Dugan is incredibly knowledgeable about the mechanics of the voice and very good at presenting his knowledge in an approachable manner. I had not had voice lessons before college and was unfamiliar with many of the ideas he taught but was still able to pick them up quickly because of his great teaching. Dr. Dugan also teaches the performance art of singing well. Encouraging engagement with the text and emotional communication along with technical skill.
    Dr. Dugan does a good job of balancing constructive criticism with encouragement as well as understanding the goals of his different students and how to help them achieve their desires. He will not let you cheap out on learning a necessary skill, but he will not beat a dead horse with it either.
    Dr. Dugan is also an incredibly capable demonstrator of technique and performance which is very necessary for vocal instruction. He makes time to respond to student questions between lessons and is enjoyable to work with.
    All and all, Dr. Dugan is an excellent vocal instructor and I cannot recommend him enough!

    Frequently asked questions

    I talk with students about their goals for lessons and together we create a plan to acomplish those goals. Some students need inspiration, some students need direction, some students just need a tune up. Everyone is different!

    I have earned a Doctorate in Vocal Pedagogy and Performance. There are only a handful of schools in the US that offer this degree. I know more about the voice than your average joe! I also work with doctors and therapists to help singers recover their voices after poor technique has caused damage.

    Please see my webside for the most up to date pricing and any special discounts that I sometimes run.

    I started teaching at Florida State University as a graduate assistant in the music theater department. By the way, those students went on to sing on Broadway and stages across the country.

    I have helped singers of every style and genre. I have a special place in my heart for classical and musical theater styles, but I have also helped rockers, screamers, singer-songwiters, folk artists, choristers, and gospel musicians to find freedom, comfort, power, and ease in their singing voices.

    Look at the credentials and LISTEN TO THEM SING!

    Think about your short and long term goals. Are you preparing for a show or audition? You may need more intensive study over a short period of time. Are you busy, but want an outlet? Maybe you only need one lesson a week.
