Bio:

Hi, I'm Gabi, the owner and voice teacher of the Gem Vocal Studio. The Gem Vocal Studio was founded in 2016 to create a supportive community of curious singers who love to explore all of the wonders of the voice. I wanted to make voice lessons a place where we can play, make mistakes, and enjoy making music all while learning a whole lot about how our voices work.

As a voice teacher, I am committed to a lifetime of learning. I earned my Master of Music in Vocal Performance from The University of Redlands and my Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from Oberlin Conservatory. I am certified in Level II of Somatic Voicework™, a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), and part of the coolest, most innovative group of voice-related business owners in the world: The Speakeasy Cooperative. Between workshops, conferences, and time spent delving into pedagogical books, I am constantly hungry for more knowledge. Teaching singing is not just my career, it truly is my life’s greatest passion. That passion is reflected in my students who work hard to reach their goals. But most importantly, they sing with authenticity, freedom, and skills that they develop in lessons and nurture through practice.

Voice Type: Mezzo-soprano

Music Styles Taught: Pop; Opera; Jazz; Gospel; Rock; Classical; Musical Theatre
