The Nurtured Voice



When in doubt, relax, align, and breathe.



Teaching Background



Over 15 Years of Experience



Margaret has been teaching singing for over 15 years throughout Seattle, San Jose, San Francisco, and now San Diego. Her students have ranged from ages 5 to 92, male and female, beginner to advanced. Some have gone on to compete in The Voice, continue training at top musical theater and voice universities such as NYU Tisch School of the Arts and Berklee College of Music, and some continue performing in local bands, at a variety of events and concerts, or simply prefer the privacy of their own shower. :-)


In addition to maintaining a private voice studio, Margaret has taught private voice lessons at The Community Music Center in San Francisco, where she also founded and taught the group class, Vocal Harmony Workshop, and substituted for and taught the Opera and Musical Theater Scenes Workshop. Margaret has also been a guest teacher for Little Opera in San Francisco.
