It is with great pleasure and a sense of honor that I write the following about My wonderful former master teacher Sahar Hassan.

Sahar was my private instructor for voice lessons in the spring of 2016,

while I was a student at McNally Smith College of Music, in St. Paul, Minnesota. With her rare combination of artistic generosity and splendid vocal artistry, she has been a blessing in my journey as a musician.

She is highly meticulous in her approach to voice training.

Lessons with her have been marvelous groundwork in the development

of technique for making full use of one’s vocal instrument, just as a player

of cello or viola is trained to make the full use of their instrument.

Sahar’s teaching is characterized by her sensitivity and skill in applying

her deep knowledge of singing and voice culture to students from different

musical stylistic backgrounds. I am a trained Indian classical singer who

also sings jazz and went ton to be accepted to the fully-funded graduate

program at Berklee College of Music’s Global Jazz Institute, soon after my time at McNally College of Music.

I will always be grateful to Sahar’s nuanced approach to the cultivation of sound, which has contributed to my overall musicianship and I miss our lessons to this day!

Sahar Hassan is a brilliant singer and teacher that provides a comfortable environment designed for vocalists of various skill levels. She was able to apply techniques specifically for my personal vocal range and I was even able to increase the range of my voice! Her knowledge of the science and anatomy of vocal techniques was important for me to understand how my own voice works. Her patience and understanding was very important to me during our lessons and I truly appreciate her efforts in that regard. Sahar was very kind during my lessons but was not afraid to tell me exactly what was happening with my voice. This criticism allowed me to grow into the best singer I could be. My absolute favorite part about lessons with Sahar is the fun experience of both singing and learning!

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

First I like to talk with the student for a bit and get to to know more about them, their interests and goals for themselves. Then I hear them sing soem excercises and possible two contrasting pieces, if they have the. Usually, I ask them to bring a coupel of songs that are already in their repertoire to perform for me, so that I get a better idea of where they are in their singing. This helps me assess how I can better help them.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

-Master of Music in voice performance for New England Conservatory

-Voice faculty at McNally Smith College of MUsic.
