We are your biggest fans.
Each faculty member at the Empowered Musician holds a teaching philosophy that aligns with our values. In short, when you study with a T.E.M. teacher, you can be sure that they won't hold you to an unrealistic standard, or insist you pursue an outdated or unsustainable career path.
Handpicked by Dana Varga, founder of The Empowered Musician and a leading changemaker in the classical music industry, these teachers share similar methodology with, or have been trained by, Dana herself. All teachers are open to collaborative teaching and mixed packages, allowing students to study more than one genre if desired.
In addition to voice and piano instruction, we offer musicianship training, dramatic coaching, and repertoire coaching to fill those skill gaps that can get in the way of your success.
