Johanna Nordhorn Voice Studio
Description of Services
Welcome to the Johanna Nordhorn Voice Studio! I’m so glad you’re here.
As a professional opera singer and voice teacher at the collegiate and private levels for over 15 years, I bring a wealth of experience, compassion, and knowledge to the table. I love to encourage my students and base my teaching on catering to the individual needs of each singer, infusing them with the confidence, creativity, and practical skills they need to succeed in music. My number one goal is for all of my students to sing with a healthy, beautiful technique that will carry them through a LIFETIME of singing in any style; my number two goal is that they enjoy it! I find that the right teacher supports the voice AND the individual using it. Many of my students have gone on to their own professional musical careers as performers in multiple genres, music educators, and music therapists. I also gladly teach non-career singers, only requiring that my students show up and earnestly try. No special skills or experience required!
*Lessons are online or in-person at my home in New Hill (15-20 minutes each from Apex, Holly Springs, and Cary, NC). Please visit my website for further information, including a list of student accomplishments, reviews, and recordings. Thank you for being here!*
Bio:
Johanna Nordhorn, Mezzo-Soprano, has delighted audiences across the nation as a professional opera singer, and loves to share her knowledge and experience in this field with her students! Along with running her successful Private Voice Studio for the last decade and a half, she has served on the Voice Faculties of the University of Central Florida (UCF), Valencia College, Jefferson College, Webster University, Principia College, and St. Louis Community College. She has also served on the faculty of nationally-recognized Opera Theatre of Saint Louis’s one-of-a-kind Artists-In-Training program, which offers extensive training and performance opportunities to promising high school singers. Her students have garnered major successes in performance and competition, and have been accepted with scholarship into top Classical Voice, Musical Theatre, Music Education, Music Therapy, and Commercial Music programs across the nation. They consistently perform around the country and can be found singing with top organizations such as Sarasota Opera, Winter Opera, Union Avenue Opera, the St. Louis Symphony Chorus, and the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, as well as repeatedly on the stage of Carnegie Hall. Many of them have released solo albums, including one featuring Johanna as a special guest!
As a professional opera singer, Johanna is a favorite in her home state of Florida as well as the Midwest, where she sang with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, Union Avenue Opera, Gateway Opera, and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. During her residency in St. Louis, she won the Southern Illinois Young Artist Competition, placed in the Metropolitan National Council Awards (Missouri district), and received a generous Individual Artist’s Grant from the Regional Arts Commission to complete extensive training in the field of Positive Performance – transforming performance anxiety into positive experience!
Johanna is also a certified Reiki master and offers Reiki sessions and classes in this gentle, healing modality. Reiki is a Japanese relaxation technique that relieves stress and promotes healing on all levels: physical, mental, and spiritual. It is a lovely pairing to voice lessons and many of her voice students have chosen Reiki to help support them in their daily lives or with specific singing issues, like performance trauma, nerves, or body tension.
