  “When
I sing, I use everything I have ever learned from life, every emotion,
every lesson, every story, every little part of who I am and what makes
me and my voice unique. When I teach, I have to use everything as well,
remembering from my experience the lessons that I can share to help each
student become who they are as a singer, finding what their own voice
is when they sing, and letting them know that they have permission to
use it.”
Erin has over thirteen year experience singing professionally. She has
been taught by some of the best teachers and coaches in the Seattle area,
including NY and Seattle based soprano, Sheila Wormer, internationally
acclaimed mezzo-soprano, Lois White, Seattle baritone Michael Delos, the
legendary jazz vocalist Jay Clayton, and most recently, Seattle’s
great jazz vocalist Greta Matassa. Erin spent eight years singing with
the Seattle Girls Choir, and under the artistic direction of Dr. Jerome
Wright, she received most of her early music training. She is one of the
founding members of the newly formed SGC alumni women’s choir.
Erin is well versed in singing various eclectic styles of music, and has
a very unique approach to teaching. She explores individually with each
student, teaching many different styles, ranging from classical and opera,
to jazz, music-theater, blues, folk, rock, bluegrass, pop, and she specializes
in singing and teaching Celtic music. Erin is experienced in correct breathing
techniques and vocal projection, without straining or constricting the
voice. Because of a good ear and perfect relative pitch, she is able to
help each student with intonation, or “staying in tune.” She
is gifted with bringing out each student’s individual voice and
natural style, while using solid, dependable technique that will help
them become confident, well-rounded singers. Erin works with all levels
of students: professionals, amateurs, children, teen-agers, adults, and
anybody with vocal problems or issues. Her studio is located in the Fremont
district in Seattle. Lessons can also be provided in your home.
