1:1 Vocal Coaching
My one on one vocal coaching sessions are a supportive space for both children and adults to explore their voice with care and confidence. Whether you are just beginning, returning to singing after time away, or looking to deepen your connection to your voice, these sessions are designed to meet you exactly where you are.
I am a singer songwriter, session singer, vocal coach, and yoga teacher with over twenty years of experience in the music industry. My teaching style is gentle, grounded, and encouraging. I focus on healthy vocal technique, breath awareness, and helping each singer feel more at ease in their body so singing feels natural rather than forced.
For children, lessons are playful, confidence building, and age appropriate, with an emphasis on enjoyment and self expression. For adults, sessions often support releasing tension, building trust in the voice, expanding range over time, and reconnecting with the joy of singing without pressure or perfection.
Each session is personalized and shaped around the individual. Depending on your goals, we may explore
• gentle vocal warm ups
• healthy technique and breath support
• confidence and performance comfort
• song work in contemporary and singer songwriter styles
• finding your natural, authentic sound
If you would like to get a feel for my approach, you are welcome to purchase my vocal warm up set here. Many students use this alongside private sessions or as a first step before beginning one on one coaching.
If you have questions, would like help deciding if lessons are a good fit for you or your child, or would like to schedule a session, please fill out a contact form using the link below. I would love to connect and see how I can support you.

My two sons have been taking voice lessons from Jennifer Fertado for over a year. Ms. Fertado is an excellent teacher and has a lot of knowledge and experience in not only voice, but with music theory and instruments. The class is enjoyable to both of my children and they have had noticeable improvement in their vocal ability. The class includes vocal warm up, music theory, and singing a song of their choice. I look forward to continuing our weekly lessons with Ms. Fertado and the progress that will be made.

Miss Jennifer is an amazing music teacher. I have a special-needs child and she managed to make my daughter fall in love with singing. Just an information that helps- my daughter is non-verbal autistic. But in music classes and lessons with Miss Jen, she comes to life. Highly recommend.

We met Teacher Jennifer when my two children were distance learning due to the pandemic. Although we have not met in person, my kiddos love learning piano with her. She has taught my kids for several years now. We have ordered the piano music books online, she has provided music via email for special songs that interest my kids (e.g. Harry Potter, Pokemon, seasonal songs) or even shared her screen with the sheet music. She is patient and can gauge when my kid is not following a new song and will pause to refresh on some basics. Although, we take piano lessons, she assisted my daughter to prepare for an audition that required her to sing and play the piano. She reaches out between lessons to check in with me. Teacher Jennifer is one of those special people who will positively shape how your child feels about music.
