Teaching

I am passionate about teaching not just the voice but also developing the singer as a whole. My unique blend of holistic care and impeccable voice technique develops well-rounded and strong artists committed to vocal health and the artistry of singing.

I specialize in young voices just beginning their vocal journey and implementing excellent vocal technique to maximize vocal potential, minimize injury, and allow for expressive and effortless performance across different singing styles.

Along with private voice lessons, I also teach a Broadway Voice class that helps young singers develop skills to sing Broadway songs and work on performance practice. `

I’m dedicated to offering gender-affirming voice care to anyone who is searching to find their voice to better align with their gender identity.

I teach all ages for anyone looking to expand their vocal knowledge. My studio is a safe space for sound experimentation, technique building and exploring. I believe that everyone should have a chance to learn how to sing and build confidence through musical expression and performance.

“Daina is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable vocal teacher. Her student-centric approach provides clear expectations of where and how to improve, and she illustrates the concepts she teaches with detailed analogies and insights into the physiology and psychology of singing.

Working with Daina has improved my vocal range and technique, helped me break decades of bad habits, and enhanced my confidence in my singing voice.”

I've felt like my voice has become significantly stronger while working with Ms. Daina, and it's really cool getting to sing in so many different languages. Daina is an incredibly encouraging, kind, and overall an amazing teacher. “

“I love working with Ms. Daina! She has helped me not only with my singing but with my confidence. I learn something valuable every lesson, and always look forward to seeing her.”

“Daina is responsible for transforming me from a kid who would kill his voice after three shows to a vocal artist who can approach every music piece differently. Before I worked with Daina, I wrote myself off as someone who would always be typecast as the villain, and so I worked to fulfill what I thought was expected of me. But Daina allowed me to explore different options. Through Daina, I have been able to explore the various colors of my voice, allowing me to play a range of characters with different motivations. Daina expanded what I thought was possible with my voice, and for that I am entirely grateful. “

- Mateo Haro | 18 years old

“I've seen huge improvements in my daughter's voice and her confidence in her singing abilities since she began working with Daina. Daina challenges her and has high expectations, while also being supportive and kind. I'm always impressed with the repertoire Daina chooses, too - there's a great variety, and it's clear that she considers not only my daughter's vocal development, but also her unique interests and personality. “
