Study With Cindy
Whether you're stepping into a lesson for the first time or preparing for a college audition, Cindy meets you exactly where you are — and helps you get where you want to go.
Private lessons are offered at Cindy's home studio in Cedar Rapids, IA and online, so students near and far can experience the same personalized, high-quality instruction. Cindy is also available for performances and masterclasses.
A Teaching Philosophy Built Around You
Great singing isn't just about hitting the right notes — it's about becoming a confident, expressive musician who understands their own instrument. Cindy's approach combines healthy vocal technique with deep musicianship, giving every student the skills to grow long after they leave the studio.
Every student works toward six core goals:
Healthy, technically correct singing — building a voice that lasts
Versatility across styles and repertoire — from classical to contemporary
Comfortable sight-reading — so music becomes a language, not a puzzle
Strong musicianship — through theory, ear training, and sight singing
Artistic self-expression — finding your unique voice as a performer
Joy in singing — because loving your voice is the whole point
Each weekly lesson includes technique and vocalization work, musicianship training (theory, history, and ear training), and repertoire preparation.
