Danise Esswein Voice Lessons & Coaching

No two lessons are ever the same. Every student who comes through my door is a unique individual with different needs, abilities, and goals. I don't want you to become who I or anyone else thinks you "should" be; I want you to become who YOU were created to be, which only YOU can truly define!

This doesn't mean I won't challenge you or stretch you beyond what you *think* you are capable of; growth can't happen if you don't step outside the comfort zone.

No vocal style or musical genre is inherently better or worse than another. I will not force you to sing any type of music you don't want to. Again, I *always* encourage growth and exploration. But if something doesn't motivate you enough to truly want to do the work, I'd be doing you a disservice if I were to force you to continue, so don't be afraid to speak up!

The human life journey and the vocal journey cannot be separated. It is a great privilege for me to witness the tremendous personal growth in my students that comes along with the vocal and musical growth.

I love helping my students discover they can do things and stretch themselves far beyond they ever thought possible. Many people make the mistake of assuming our voices are set and fixed from birth, you've got what you've got, you either won the genetic lottery or you didn't. Nothing could be further from the truth! Like athletic training, our voices are incredibly flexible and versatile, and can be trained and coordinated just like the rest of the muscles in our body. Combined with each person's completely unique anatomy, the possiblities are endless!
