Dr. Jolly is by far the best voice coach I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Never before have I had a coach care so much about not only my professional development, but my personal development as well.

Private voice lessons are a great investment in yourself, whether you are a professional singer, student, or sing for fun. Group lessons and workshops can also greatly enhance your understanding of your voice, your body, performance techniques, performance anxiety, or auditioning.
I can help you build, refine, and enhance your vocal technique so that you are free to express yourself and connect more deeply with the material you’re singing.
I teach students who are studying traditional bel canto singing, musical theatre, crossover, and pop, accompanying them for lessons or recordings.
If you feel frustrated when your auditions or performances don’t match what you can do in your lessons, you may have performance anxiety. I can help you learn some techniques to manage the symptoms and perform at your best.
Join us and leave more empowered and joyful, prepared for your musical endeavors.
The studio accepts voice students ages 12 and older. It is best if students are able to read music or have experience playing another instrument, preferably piano. Students who cannot read music will require additional music theory materials. Voice lessons focus on a variety of music styles to promote the development of proper alignment, breathing, resonance, and tone production, in addition to performance style and interpretation. Lessons occur once a week, every week.
This two-hour workshop will help you learn how to maximize your strengths in an audition situation, whether for musical theater, opera, pop, or contemporary music.
Musical Theater Performance Workshop is an exploration of musical theater in a studio workshop setting. Students will the study the process of learning a song or ensemble work, analyzing text, motivation, music, and movement.

I began working with Dr. Katherine Jolly after surgery for vocal nodes. She completely revolutionized the way I sing, giving me better control over breath support, cleaner tone, dramatically improved vocal stamina, and most importantly she taught me how to sing in a way that I would not injure my vocal cords again. Having worked with other vocal coaches in the past, I’ve found that the majority of instructors are great singers, but are unable to translate their abilities to effective teaching. Dr. Jolly does this impeccably and has been able to teach me fundamentals of singing that I was never before able to grasp.
“Taking vocal lessons with Dr. Jolly was a wonderful experience that I will always be grateful for. My musicality, vocal ability, and stage presence improved so much as a result of Dr. Jolly’s excellent guidance. I always looked forward to my lessons with Dr. J, and my confidence grew every time I sang with her. Dr. Jolly is absolutely wonderful to work with, and I am so happy with all the progress I made during my lessons with her.”
Katherine Jolly is not only an incredible voice teacher and mentor she is a supportive and giving friend who will go above and beyond to help her students. I have learned so much from her studio and have grown immensely from her knowledge in Classical Voice as well as Musical Theater.
Katherine Jolly is truly the best of the best. She is one of the most knowledgeable and nurturing voice teachers I have ever had. Katherine’s love for her students as well as her craft make for an excellent working environment and incredible training.
