Michelle Clark Sings

Our first lesson will include a short vocal assessment and review of your goals. For the remainder of the time and for subsequent lesson we work on exercises to hone your voice and then apply that singing a song of your choice.

I have performed in choirs, show choirs and musical theater since I was a little girl. I have a degree in Human Development (focusing on child development) from BYU and sang in their Early Music Ensemble as a student. I have 5 years of private vocal education and am currently training under Amiee Geddes through the International Voice Teachers of Mix (IVTOM) organization, working toward accreditation. I perform in muscial theater locally at theaters in Davis and Weber counties, including Centerpoint Theater, Terrace Plaza Playhouse and Kaysville City.

I have sung and performed since I was a little girl, having been raised by a musician/teacher father. I've had training in piano and organ and while I didn't to pursue music specifially in college, it was always a part of my life, whether I was accompanying, working with my own kids, volunteering in community productions and classes, or singing and performing myself. I enjoyed all my musical involvement, but singing and musical theater were always my favorites. After moving to Utah, I got involved performing in local theater and eventually decided to pick up voice lessons again as something fun to do. After a couple of years my teacher (and now mentor) asked me if I'd ever considered beoming a voice teacher, offering to help me train and begin teaching. It was an easy decision. I love voice, I love performing and I love that I now get to share that with others and help them discover their own voices.

Beginning to moderate level students, ages 10 and up. 

I find there are people who love to sing but are afraid to sing in front of even a teacher for fear of sounding bad and feeling embarrassed, or because someone has told them they can't. I say, go for it! As a teacher I hear potential in every voice that comes to me and my goal is to help you see that in yourself and better enjoy your singing experience, even if you are your only audience.

For the voice it is really important to find a teacher who not only has experience as a singer, but has some training specific to vocal instruction and technique. Unlike a piano or a guitar, the voice is an invisible instrument and is unique to each individual. While it is resilient, it can be damaged through improper technique and training, even under the guidance a well-meaning, but uneducated instructor. Having someone who understands potential pitfalls and can help you avoid the habits that may damage your voice will help keep you singing your whole life long.
