Hi, I’m Holly. I’m a voice and piano teacher and I offer online and in-person lessons to new and experienced singers in the Seattle area.

I have a degree in Music Education from Seattle Pacific University and have studied with renowned musicians in various genres, including Jazz, Classical, Pop, and more. My own journey began with piano and singing at age five, and I've performed in choirs and musical productions across Seattle.

I've also been a featured soloist in a variety of ensembles and have experience as a studio musician, collaborating with different artists and bands.

I'm passionate about sharing my love for music with my students and helping them discover their unique artistic voice. Let's embark on this musical journey together!

I'm here to guide you on your musical journey, whether you're starting out or pursuing a serious career. With over 20 years of experience teaching voice and piano in Seattle, I'm committed to making learning enjoyable and tailored to your needs, regardless of age or skill level.

My teaching focuses on three key areas: building a strong foundation in technique, developing musical skills, and fostering creativity. Together, we'll work on everything from posture and breathing to music theory and notation.

    “I decided to take the leap to learn piano as an adult student. Holly has been amazing since day 1! I’ve been able to play classical, jazz, pop, and even country. She is always receptive to letting me play what I want to play, but is there to also provide grade-appropriate pieces that I would never be able to find on my own. Additionally, I know more about actual musictheory now than I ever thought I would, which helps immensely in learning piano. Recently, I started mixing in singing lessons with piano, which Holly was very happy to help with!”

  • Duncan D.

    Singing is something I always enjoyed doing but never had made the space to explore more seriously. Before starting lessonsI thought that performing for a crowd was out of the question for me, but Holly has helped me gain so much confidence in myself! She is also extremely knowledgeable about music and the vocal anatomy involved in singing. Attending my lessonwith Holly is always a big highlight of every week!
