my background
As a passionate music teacher with a diverse background in jazz, R&B, soul, musical theatre, and pop, I strive to inspire my students through the power of music. With nine years of experience teaching private lessons, I focus on nurturing each student’s unique voice and creativity, helping them explore their musical interests while developing essential skills.
My journey began at Berklee College of Music, where I honed my craft in vocal jazz and songwriting, and continued at Naropa University, where I deepened my understanding of music's emotional and expressive potential. As a recording artist and gigging musician myself, I bring real-world experience into my teaching, encouraging students to find their own artistic path.
my teaching style
Expressing yourself through singing can be tender; which is why I approach voice lessons with trauma-informed presence, taking into account the stories we tell ourselves about what our voices can or cannot do. Expansive breathing and releasing tension are key to helping singers discover their authentic, embodied voice. I incorporate elements of mindfulness and breathwork, encouraging self-reflection throughout the vocal journey.
I provide personalized PDFs and recordings to enhance your musical practice, along with access to a home recording studio. Whether you want to record a demo or learn to create engaging reel-style videos with vocal layering, I’m here to help. As a professional musician with expertise in social media, I can guide you in crafting captivating musical content.
Whether you sing for fun, want to explore your voice more deeply, or are a professional musician seeking to expand your skills, I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities. At the core of my approach is the belief that nurturing a love for music and developing solid technique are essential to growth.

Student Testimonials
"I came to Liv with no voice training whatsoever, but a desire to learn. She offered me guidance, insight, and patience, which were all so valuable in my learning experience. Her energy is very calming and open, which helps you feel comfortable. I have seen tons of progress in my voice over the last year since seeing Liv and I’m grateful to have found her!"
"Working and taking guitar and voice lessons with Liv was a really enriching experience. Liv not only takes time to thoroughly teach you how to work with the guitar and your voice, but also explains why she uses the methods that she does. Her educational background in music only enhances her already natural talent with music and teaching and she is very generous with passing on many of the lessons she learned during her musical education. I appreciate her teaching style as she takes the time to customize her lesson plan for the learning types and musical levels of each of her students.
One of my favorite aspects of taking lessons with Liv is her ability to create a comfortable space that isn't scary or uncomfortable while still encouraging her students to try new things and step out of their comfort zone. She is definitely an instructor I would recommend if you are looking for a safe place to step out of your comfort zone and build your musical confidence. I appreciated her knowledge of recording studios and her willingness to share her tools with students so they can record their progress and also learn how to work with different types of musical tools.
All in all, as someone who has worked with a number of musical teachers/instructors, Liv was my favorite as she creates a holistic learning experience that combines a structural knowledge of music with a flexible learning space that nurtures comfort with learning something new"
