About Your Teacher

I was the kid who sang while waiting for the bus, playing in my room, or on the playground.  I learned guitar and piano so that I could write songs and set my thoughts and feelings to music. The passion for singing stayed with me my entire childhood and adult life.

As I grew older I struggled with stage fright. Fear closed my throat and shut down my breathing. But I worked through it, and went on to college and beyond to study voice and pursue what I loved to do.  I've had a long career now as a singer.

About 14 years ago, I decided to become a teacher.  My new task was not just to teach what I knew, but to learn about updated techniques because my students wanted to sing pop, rock, indie, gospel, and musical theatre and needed help understanding the parts of their voices that weren't working. I attended workshops and conferences and took courses to learn how to help them.

My students have won auditions, singing competitions, joined talent shows, gone into bands and joined choirs.

But many just want to sing better, feel more confident and understand the basic foundations of singing. My belief is that it doesn't matter how good you are. Sing anyways!

...and yes, the Pandemic shut me down for two years (online singing lessons were okay, but not great) yet with Covid receding, and everyone vaxxed and boosted (required) my studio has reopened. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Malya is exceptionally skilled as a singing teacher. She sets high expectations, provides frequent, direct feedback and allows the student to quickly respond and improve. She is very supportive throughout the entire process.

Music Teacher

I'm a music teacher of guitar, piano and group classes. I went to see Malya and in just a few lessons, she completely helped me turn around my technique. She is a total pro and I can't recommend her highly enough!
