High School Singers

Zoe Vandermeer has extensive experience working with high school singers.  Many of her students have sung in Regionals, All State and Nationals, sung solos with choirs, had (and have) lead roles in musical theatre productions, and have received substantial scholarships to top conservatories and music and theatre degree programs at universities in the US.  She trains singers in healthy and reliable vocal techniques, and coaches high school singers in audition preparation for productions, soloist opportunities, college applications, demos, as well as the NYSSMA and the ABRSM programs.  

​

Zoe is dedicated to teaching students learn how to sing without vocal strain, how to expand the range, gain flexibility, power, stamina, how to balance the vocal registers, how to observe vocal health, and provides tools in how to honor the individual voice within the choral and musical theatre contexts.  Students learn how the voice works, how their voice works, and how to practice effectively and efficiently between lessons.   Students are provided with mp3 vocal exercises and are given specific guidance in how to work with these exercises, and how to apply the learned techniques to their repertoire.

 

Zoe has been an adjudicator for Regionals and international singing competitions, and is a member of the New York Singing Teachers Association.  She sings professionally, is a recording artist, and she holds a degree from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.  She is currently enrolled in an online PhD in research in vocal pedagogy at the University of Birmingham in England.  She has held voice faculty positions at the Hartt School and at Wesleyan University.  She has been a choral and musical theatre director for many years and is keenly aware of the challenges that singers face in these musical environments.  About Zoe.  Zoe sings!.
