As a teacher with both a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Vocal Performance, I know what it takes to succeed as a performer in the music business. I will teach you whatever performance aspects you need to make your performance really shine. This includes creating your own version of the song, learning which dance moves to incorporate, and learning acting tools to find your true belief in the song. I provide lots of fun themed performance showcases as well as vocal competitions with a supportive singer community every other month.

Want to sing and perform like a star? I can also develop both your singing and your stage presence to help you channel your inner Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Mariah Carey, Bruno Mars, Halsey, or Shawn Mendes.
You will learn how to reach high notes with ease and charm your audience. Not only that! You will have FUN!

You will learn how to reach high notes with ease, charm your audience and get them on your side, increase both your low and high ranges, create vocal melody lines, and have a fun time learning a life changing skill.

I combine the healthy technique and stamina from opera and bring it to today’s popular styles such as Pop and R&B so you have the best techniques and powerhouse vocals from both styles to truly stand out in today’s music landscape.

I started my singing career in Jazz clubs before branching off into opera and pop. I have both a Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degree in operatic vocal performance from CSUN. I have performed leading roles in both musicals and opera and most recently performed a starring role for the American premiere of Li Sposi per Accidente. I have also performed at private events for both LA Opera and the Long Beach Symphony. As a recording artist, I have done studio sessions wi

Approved Subjects

Songwriting

Songwriting

I have taken songwriting courses while attending Cal State Northridge. In recording studios, I have teamed up with and written songs with Motesart (Celine Dion, Demi Lovato) and Marlin "Hookman" Bonds (Jason Derulo, Demi Lovato, Jordin Sparks) and Bill Champlin (Lead singer from the band, Chicago). I have helped many students add extra finesse and streamline their songs.
Theater

Theater

I have been teaching acting and singing for the past 17 years. I have studied acting extensively at Lifebook Acting Academy and with celebrated actress Lillian Lehman in her acting on film class. I focus on the understanding of text and I work collaboratively with each actor to discover the tools that actually work for him/her/they. I also effectively combine acting within singing so actors can land auditions requiring both skills. We also work on untangling the actor’s bad habits, acting and otherwise, so the actor can embrace what serves them best and let go of what is not serving them. Actors from beginners to advanced have responded to Nicolette's approach by developing a great aesthetic in which their work meets their ambitions, creating self-sustained, confident, and consistently working actors.
Voice (Music)

Voice (Music)

I have trained with both classical and contemporary vocal instructors from nine years old through the completion of my M.M. in Vocal Performance. You will learn how to reach high notes with ease, charm your audience and get them on your side, increase both your low and high ranges, create vocal melody lines, and have a fun time learning a life changing skill. You will notice significant improvement within the first few lessons. I have developed my students into professionals in the entertainment field and I have celebrity clientele on my roster as well.

Extremely knowledgeable and kind teacher

Nicolette is by far the best singing couch I have ever had. It is obvious from your first lesson that she is extremely talented and well trained. She is also amazing at explaining concepts to her students and is very engage during her sessions. She is sooo organized and actually keeps track of your warm ups (with sample audio for you to practice), she takes notes on how to improve on the songs you are working on, and keeps everything in an easy to access website. She makes your job as the student as easy as possible so you can push yourself to learn the most you can. She is very patient and kind in the way she works with her clients and I am always excited to start our sessions each week. I cannot recommend Nicolette enough! Not only is nicolette an amazing vocal couch but she is also an amazing performance couch and has helped me gain a lot of confidence performing as well. In the sessions I have had with her, I have learned so much and can feel and hear my voice improving each week I work with her. 11/10 recommend

Incredible Teacher!

She’s so incredibly knowledgeable and explains the technical components of singing in a very easy to understand way, which is amazing for new students like me. Nicolette knows exactly how to get effective result from her students, and she’s created such an extensive curriculum of warmups and practice techniques. In top of all of that, she’s a delightful person and so easy to talk to. The learning environment is very warm and supportive. Highly recommend!

Most amazing teacher ever, what are you doing? Just take her

Nicolette is an amazing singing teacher. She’s very knowledgeable about vocal health and always give me tips on how to protect my vocal cords. She’s also very patient and understanding especially when it comes to unfortunate circumstances. My lessons with her are always enjoyable and there’s so many things to talk about with Nicolette besides singing if you ever need to, she’s always there to listen and support you.

Excellent

Nicollette is very tuned in to your goals and quickly assesses your skill level to come up with a plan. As an experienced musician I'm looking to improve my singing and after just one session I can feel a difference in my voice practicing the techniques Nicollete has taught me. She has an excellent voice herself, her demos are very impressive, so I know I'm being coached by a great singer. I hightly recommend her as a vocal instructor!

Amazing tutor, very patient and flexible to the student' need

I have been taking singing lessons with Nicolette for 5 months now and could not be happier... Nicolette is the THE teacher I was looking for: Patient, gifted singer, very good at teaching and very flexible to my needs and aspirations. Art is 80% inspiration for me, and Nicolette's spirit and approach really have been helping me keep inspired. I really appreciate that she did not try to fit me in a box or used a tired old approach on me, but instead came up with a specific practice and performance plan designed for me. What more can one ask from a tutor? Highly recommend :)

Very knowledgeable at her profession.

In two days, I have been able to register my higher pitch and continue to work on it. She teaches me a lot of different types of breathing exercises. Nicolette teaches me to establish my goals and also provides me with tools and the steps to achieve them. I look forward to the next lessons.

Amazing person and vocal coach

Nicolette has been absolutely amazing to work with and grow from her expertise! She's sweet, she's thorough, she's knowledgeable, and she's an amazing singer. I am so thankful God has allowed us to cross paths. My vocal journey with her has been so much fun and I've made so much progress, especially with breath support! I have much to learn from her and I look forward to it!! Much love and blessings to my coach as well as new friend 🤗🫶!!

Knowledgeable, Fun, Collaborative, and Pushes you to Grow/Improve

Nicolette is not only an experienced vocalist and performer, but also a good vocal coach. Since we started lessons a month ago, I have improved my breath support quite a lot and have learned how to put less strain on my throat/neck while singing; 2 goals I wanted to work towards. She offers smart and attainable goals based on your aspirations and helps you to steadily improve each week. Depending on your overall goal, Nicolette suggests tailored amounts of time to practice and offers a wide variety of warmups/exercises (which are all available to you in a Google Doc). Finally, she offers opportunities to perform at show cases that she runs where you get to choose a song, work on it over time with her, and then perform it in front of her other students (yes, you can even perform long distance/taking online courses). Overall, I highly recommend. Lessons are safe, collaborative, helpful, and enjoyable.
