singing workshops & private lessons with
Aileen Vance
find your voice, your spirit and your power in song
Have you ever been told that you could not sing? Do you long to sing, but feel intimidated or uncomfortable? Are you a singer who feels “blocked,” and wants to rise to a new challenge? Aileen Vance is an internationally recognized singer, performer and songwriter with over 20 years teaching and performing experience. She is passionate about singing and believes that ALL of us have the right to do so. Her warm manner and teaching style reflect both European Classical and Multi-cultural folk understandings of vocal quality & production, tone, pitch, phrasing, breathing, physical alignment & musicality, as well as her love of the Alexander Technique (Aileen notes here: "I am not a certified Alexander Technique teacher--but I have studied it and I utilize it in my teaching."). She is a member of American Federation of Musicians, Children’s Music Network, Peoples Music Network, and is a past recipient of the Kerrville Folk Festival’s “New Folk” award for excellence in songwriting. She is also the music director of the Santa Cruz Peace Chorale.
