fallen in love with songwriting?
If you can't stop writing songs or wishing you could start….
- Sorry, but not sorry to inform you that it's a life-long condition!
- Whether you've not written your first song yet or have a notebook/digital file full of them, again, you've come to the right place.
- Songwriting, like any writing, is a ever-evolving craft that ANYONE and EVERYONE can do. Using a toolchest of songwriting structures, techniques, and craft best practices, we can start with a blank page, transform ideas and fragments into full-fledged songs, or sculpt almost-finished tunes into masterfully finsished products they long to be.
- We use the Gateless Writing methodology (I'm a certified teacher!) that promotes a critic-free environment with strength-based, craft-focused feedback that leaves you with the tools and agency to write exceptional songs.
- Combine songwriting and vocal coaching for an exciting, effective way to allow your unique voice and perspective to emerge and flourish through lyrics, arrangement, and vocals.

“Karen has opened up my voice and my songwriting, helping me feel confident to explore parts of myself that felt inaccessible or completely impossible before. Through guided meditation, vocal work, and singing together I have reached new levels of excitement and ease within my own artistry. ”
— Kate E., vocal/songwriting student
“Karen has helped me transform my relationship with my own voice and inner critic. I never thought I would feel this comfortable singing in front of someone else, but I immediately felt a deep sense of safety in her presence. Through working with Karen, I realized the therapeutic benefits of expressing my emotions through song. Karen’s positive spirit and calm disposition are what set her apart from other vocal coaches. It is through her welcoming, non-judgmental, and supportive nature that I was able to overcome my anxieties around self expression through music. It has been incredibly healing to work with her. I would recommend her to anyone who might be curious about finding and developing their singing voice. ”
— Jamie M., vocal student
“A gigging musician friend heard me play on stage and said- Whatever you're paying that vocal teacher, keep doing it because your confidence and ease on the mic has drastically increased.”
