Performing and singing such diverse styles allows her to work with students of varied backgrounds with ease. Attention is placed on the underlying cohesive elements that unify all healthy vocal production. Lessons explore breathing, the body as the instrument, anatomy, diction, range, pitch, and ease in singing, with the ultimate goal being finding one's own unique voice. Megan's study of acting and experience as a professional actor also informs her teaching as she encourages students to bring the songs to life, not only musically, but also dramatically.   Lessons are challenging but fun. Megan firmly believes that the joy of singing should not be lost in the pursuit of singing. Questions are always welcomed. Singers play an instrument they can't see and an instrument that they in some ways must put together themselves. Questions foster a dialogue and create a common language and understanding between the teacher and the student. As a teacher, Megan maintained her own voice studio in Seattle, Voice Matters Vocal Studio, for five years. Additionally she taught at the Music Center of the Northwest and at the Bellevue School of Music. Having relocated to Los Angeles, Megan recently won the distinction of being named a Teaching Artist for the L.A. Music Center.   Megan is a member of The National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) and The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). ...more at www.MeganHook.com Read what students are saying about Megan Hook.
