About Briar
I’m a vocal coach with over six years of teaching experience and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Vocal Studies. I guide singers through the art of vocal performance while blending music education with industry-ready skills. Whether you're a hobbyist or an aspiring recording artist, I help you find your voice with confidence and creativity. I specialize in R&B, Soul, Acoustic Pop, and Contemporary Christian, helping students refine their tone, phrasing, and emotional expression. In my sessions, we dive deep into lyric interpretation, harmonies, and vocal storytelling, not just hitting the right notes. I also teach tone shaping and how to use dynamics to bring songs to life. Using modern tools like DAWs, vocal processors, and studio microphones, I prepare students for studio recording, songwriting, and professional rehearsals. You’ll learn how to record vocals, layer harmonies, and shape your unique studio sound. I provide personalized guidance to build vocal agility, control, and performance confidence. From first-time singers to future recording artists, I create a safe and inspiring space to grow. If you’re ready to explore the art of storytelling through singing and studio creativity, let’s begin this journey together.

For The Music Major, start with repertoire that showcases technical complexity and emotional depth, such as classical arias, jazz standards, or contemporary musical theatre pieces. The Suzuki Student benefits from structured song progression, moving from simple melodies to more expressive works while staying consistent with ear-training foundations. Choose songs that match each student’s natural range and timbre, then adjust keys to highlight their most resonant vocal tone.
Both personas should practice vocal tone matching using recordings of professional singers, paying attention to vowel shaping and breath placement. Add controlled dynamics drills, such as crescendo-decrescendo on sustained notes, to enhance expressive control. Vocal agility exercises like scales, arpeggios, and melismatic runs build flexibility, helping Music Majors tackle complex passages and Suzuki students improve precision and speed.
Incorporate mock auditions to simulate pressure, refine stage presence, and manage nerves. Encourage genre diversity—from classical to pop or jazz—to build versatile vocal portfolios and adaptability. Recommend using backing track apps (Karaoke Version, Appcompanist), lyric trainers (LyricFluent, Musixmatch), and pitch analyzers (VocalPitchMonitor, SingScope) to improve accuracy and self-evaluation.
