Teaching Experience

I have been teaching voice since 2015. My positions have included volunteering with Columbia University’s Musical Mentors, which provides private lessons for public schools which lack music education. I taught at a New York City music studio for 2 years, teaching voice, piano, and general music prior to starting my own studio.

My students range in age from 5-60 years and sing music in a variety of styles including classical, musical theater, pop, and more. I have helped singers reach their personal goals which have ranged from matching pitch to winning competitions, getting the leading role in a show, or putting together a solo recital.

Background

Isabel Springer is an American-German Soprano hailing from the Philadelphia area with a Master of Music in Voice from the Mannes School of Music in NYC and a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Michigan. Versatile in a wide range of repertoire, Isabel has performed leading roles in a number of operas, musicals, and recitals locally and internationally. Isabel grew up studying dance, piano, and voice, which led to training later on in the Alexander Technique and vocal pedagogy. Inspired by her own incredible teachers, Isabel has always been fascinated with how the voice works and how to best help individual singers reach their goals.
