Hello, I am Rebekah Osborne

For 5 years I studied the vocal technique of the Italian School under the private instruction of opera star Cristina Carroll, culminating in a solo performance of three Puccini arias from La boheme on the stage of Gammage Auditorium. I then spent the next 30 years teaching children and adults healthy and expressive vocal and instrumental technique, music reading, and pitch matching. I also created, rehearsed, and directed a wide variety of song performances as well as full concerts and music shows within the public schools and various religious communities. I have enjoyed working with all ages of students; discovering, vocally refining, and supporting each person’s and group’s unique voice, personality, musical interest, and creativity.

Currently, I work in my own singing/speaking voice studio, serve as the vocal coach or sight singing teacher for the Chandler Children’s Choir, and consult with choir and drama groups for healthy voice use. I also continue to develop my own Bel Canto vocal skills by singing with the Sonoran Desert Chorale. It is this technique plus CCM that I teach in private voice lessons with children, youth and adults. In the voice studio, I focus on healthy singing and apply it to any style of music — Folk, Pop, Jazz, Religious, Broadway, Opera, and Classical Art Song. I thoughtfully and carefully prepare my students to be performers who are vocally capable, knowledgeable, and self-aware. I also prepare them to be musically literate, accurate, expressive and communicative. I give them the skills and knowledge to successfully take them to the next place on their musical journey.
