We have a bustling year ahead of us here at the Hackett Music Studio. Students are creating their own music, recording and performing their own songs, working at their craft, and finding a love for the music of the masters as well as today's popular songs making magic one lesson at a time. Everyone is progressing and making me proud!!
I have been teaching voice, flute and piano for 10 years. I teach all ages and focus on bringing out the beauty of the individual voice with healthy, natural technique. I offer private lessons as well as group lessons.
My Students have gone on to major in vocal performance at college and have participated and advanced in prestigious competitions. Here, they have placed in the Chandler's Children's Choir, Moezart Productions, Mesa Encore Theatre, Copperstar Theatre, Youth Valley Theatre, Actors Youth Theatre, Mesa Community College, Scottsdale Musical Theater Company, as well as in summer vocal programs such as the prestigious Eastman School of Music Horizons Program for High Schoolers, The Berklee School of Music Aspire Program, as well as the Westminster Summer Program for singers. I'm always on the look out for competitions, musical theater programs, and performing opportunities for my students.
