Voice Teacher - Philosophy and Background   

Every individual has a "voice" print as unique as their fingerprint. Helping students to discover the instrument within them is one of my life's passions. Whether you want to pursue a career as a musical theater performer, improve your stamina for long choral rehearsals, or expand your range and improve your tone and bring your character to life for that next audition, I will help you to understand how your voice - that amazing combination of Body, Breath & Soul - works and guide you to your goals in a healthy and positive way. 

Lessons occur at Body, Breath & Soul Vocal Studio in Saint Petersburg Florida.  Students of all ages learn a functional vocal technique that marries practices of breath and movement used in yoga with musical interpretation to guide an emotionally free voice. Our mission is to train the breath, mind, and soul of the singer for performance that communicates the meaning of any type of material. Music Lessons in Saint Petersburg FL

Music Director - Process and Experience

Audiences need to believe in the life of each character in order to have empathy for their experience. Bringing a character to life on the stage is the job of all theater performers.  As musical director, I guide the actors to find the nuances of emotion written in the music and lyric, and share that with the audience as a singing actor. Similarly, I develop the interpretation of the instrumental accompaniment for the musicians as conductor for any show.  Music direction credits include:  Songs for a New World, The Addams Family, Legally Blonde, Sister Act , Once Upon a Mattress*, Little Women*, The  Wizard of Oz, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Hairspray*, Footloose*, Anything Goes, and West Side Story. *Shows received CAPPIE award nominations.

Stacie is radiant! Her positivity and love of music is infectious. I originally signed on to do a 4 week program with her and months later.. I’m still hooked! It’s my favorite day of the week by far. She’s poured her attention into my practice in a way that exceeded my expectations. Her studio space is bright and inviting. If you are looking for an energetic and meticulous teacher, Stacie is your gal!”

As a vocal coach, Stacie helped one low-voice singer access her head voice, which enabled her to expand her range of expression across many musical genres. Stacie’s knowledge, patience and resourcefulness help to put her students at ease and enable them absorb new skills and techniques successfully.”
