About your singing coach

Hi there, my name is Dr. Jessica Leigh Brunet. I am an accomplished performing artist, voice teacher, and music researcher. A versatile singing actress, I have performed across genres with leading artists such as Jack Harlow (Grammy-nominated recording artist), Key'mon Murrah (countertenor, Metropolitan Opera), and Mara Davi (Broadway's A Chorus Line). I have appeared in concert with orchestras throughout the United States, and I am a member of the internationally touring group, the American Spiritual Ensemble. My teaching philosophy is student-oriented. Lessons focus on building a strong technical foundation tailored to the student's strengths, areas for growth, and interests. I want to meet you where you are! Then I'll help the student to apply those skills to repertoire in whichever genre they focus on. I have taught singers from middle school age to adults, and my students have: - won competitions - gone on to do solo artist recording - been cast at Disney - performed in solo recitals - been accepted by audition to their university music program - been hired for summer stock theatre companies - found their own voice - learned to love singing again! I highly value kindness, empathy, communication, and a spirit of curiosity! Voice lessons and coaching are very vulnerable experiences, but I encourage you to be yourself and don't be afraid to try things. Patience and practice are also very important. I want to set up realistic expectations for you - singing takes time and work. No matter what anyone says, there is no magic pill or miracle formula that will (for the long-term) make you a better singer overnight. My in-depth knowledge of voice pedagogy (teaching) and vocal health/anatomy sets me apart from many voice teachers and coaches. Combined with my performance experience and active career, I have the tools to help singers, no matter their level, learn how to get the best from their vocal instrument and build the confidence to let their talent shine. I can teach in-person at my studio on City Ave or I can teach online (Zoom).
