"I truly look up to you in so many ways and am so grateful for your willingness to work with me in those beginning years! I now have 2 performing arts schools and am opening a new avenue of singing with orchestras and symphonies."

Lessons for Beginners
Yes! You can come with no background and learn to sing!

We will start with simple breathing techniques and move to sound, vowels, and short scales.

We use a series of unique breathing exercises that will ultimately help you learn to connect sound to breath and provide consistent sound and resonance. 
Marla made me realize this can be a comfortable, easy and FUN process; I was shy, but felt really comfortable during and confident afterward!
—Laura F. from Berkeley, CA

Coaching for Performers
The diaphramatic breathing techniques Marla teaches are effective for singing of all genres. And can also help those recovering from vocal damage.

Her students have become amazing. Some have repeatedly achieved the highest honors in national and international competitions. 

Each lesson is designed to help you achieve your singing goals. You'll always work on whatever you, specifically, need—be it resonance, stage presence, projection, or other techniques. 
 If you want a master in voice technique and healthy voice development, Marla is the teacher for you.
