🎤✨ Welcome to Vocally Owned, Sophie! ✨🎤
Please help me give a warm welcome to our newest vocal student, Sophie!
One of my favorite parts of teaching is getting to meet students exactly where they are and helping them discover what their voice is capable of. Every singer brings a unique story, perspective, and sound into the studio, and I am so excited to be part of Sophie’s musical journey.
At Vocally Owned, we focus on building confidence, healthy vocal technique, performance skills, and most importantly—helping students find joy in using their voice. Whether a student dreams of performing on stage, auditioning for a show, recording music, or simply singing because they love it, there is a place for them here.
Welcome to the studio, Sophie! I can’t wait to watch you grow, learn, and shine. 🌟

🎭 Calling all young performers, storytellers, dreamers, and Narnia lovers! 🎭
Our friends at The Salvation Army in O'Fallon have officially announced auditions for The Magician's Nephew—the enchanting prequel to The Chronicles of Narnia—and there are lots of opportunities for children and youth to get involved!
What makes this production especially exciting is the incredible team behind it. This show is being brought to life by a powerhouse group of directors, designers, costumers, and creative minds who are passionate about helping young performers grow both on and off the stage.
Theatre was such a gift in my own life growing up, and I love seeing local organizations create spaces where kids can build confidence, make friends, develop life skills, and discover their creative voice.
If your child is planning to audition and would like a little extra support, I have a few one-on-one coaching spots available through Vocally Owned to help with audition preparation, character work, confidence building, and performance skills.
Break a leg, future Narnians! ✨🦁🍎

🎤✨ Your child already has a voice. The question is: do they feel safe enough to use it?
This summer, we’re creating a space where kids can build confidence, explore creativity, and discover the power of authentic self-expression.
At the Vocally Owned Summer Camp, students won’t just learn about music—they’ll learn about themselves.
Over two immersive days, campers will:
🎶 Write songs and explore creative storytelling
🎤 Develop healthy vocal technique and performance skills
🌱 Practice confidence-building through group activities
💛 Participate in age-appropriate vulnerability and connection circles
🎸 Explore music as a tool for self-expression and empowerment
As a professional performer, educator, and coach, I’ve spent over 20 years helping people find their voice—not just on stage, but in life. This camp is designed to nurture creativity, courage, and connection in a supportive environment where every child is encouraged to be fully themselves.
📍 Growing Tree Resource Center – Lake St. Louis
📅 July 7th & 8th
⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
💲 Early Bird Registration: $95 (limited availability)
Spots are intentionally limited to keep the experience personal and impactful.
Because when children learn to trust their voice, they learn to trust themselves. 💫
Message me to reserve your child’s spot today! 🎶✨

🎶 Please help me welcome Cora to Vocally Owned! 🎶
One of my favorite parts of a student’s very first lesson is getting to know them before we ever worry about technique.
At Vocally Owned, first lessons often begin with sensory games, creative activities, and a little play. While we warm up to one another, students share the songs I asked them to bring as “homework” so I can learn about their musical interests, favorite artists, and what inspires them. It helps me build lessons around who they already are rather than forcing them into a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Cora came ready to share her love of music—and her competitive side! 😆 Between singing “Billie Jean” at the top of her lungs and absolutely crushing me at Mancala, she made quite the first impression.
These moments of connection matter. When students feel safe, seen, and comfortable, confidence naturally follows—and that’s where the real learning begins.
Welcome to the Vocally Owned family, Cora! We are so excited to watch your voice, creativity, and confidence continue to grow. 💛🎤

Feeling deeply grateful for the opportunity to be the music + improv teacher at Growing Tree Resource Center 🎶✨
Every week, I get to watch these beautiful kiddos build confidence, creativity, emotional expression, and connection through music and movement.
When we dance with scarves, we’re not just “playing” — we’re developing coordination, rhythm, body awareness, self-expression, bilateral brain integration, and nervous system regulation. 🌈
When we explore a variety of instruments, students are learning:
🥁 rhythm & timing
🎵 listening skills
🧠 pattern recognition
🤝 collaboration
💫 confidence in creative expression
And through the fundamentals of music theory, they begin understanding the language of music itself — learning pitch, tempo, dynamics, counting, melody, and how music can tell a story and evoke emotion.
One of my favorite parts of teaching is watching children let go of perfection and fully step into play, imagination, movement, and authentic self-expression. That kind of freedom is powerful. 🤍
So thankful for this community, these families, and the chance to help nurture creativity, confidence, and joy through the arts.
Have a wonderful summer!
