I want to sing like the birds sing,
​not worrying about who hears or what they think.
-Rumi

Every human can create beautiful music with the instrument with which they were born. 

I believe in a whole-human approach to music exploration. As we gain a better understanding of our own unique instruments, we also gain a better understanding of ourselves.

Hi friends! My name is Crystal Hosea, and I have been humbly guiding young people and adults on their musical journeys for over 20 years. The fact that our musical instrument is part of our bodies makes vocal study unique, in my opinion. For this reason, I believe in taking a whole-human approach to music exploration. 

​Compassion, honesty, gentle guidance, deep reflection, and a healthy dose of humor fill the time that I am given with each of my students.  This is because I believe deeply that music is not a performance art, but rather a beautiful form of communication.

Whether you are 9 or 99, I invite you to come experience an exhale from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax into a greater understanding of your own unique musical instrument. Why commit something to memory, when you can learn it by Heart?

I was just thinking about the old normal piano class with musical theory and daily practice of scales and chords - and while my daughter could do it, her music became so forced and flat.  With Mrs. H, she's rediscovered her love of music, turning to different songs to help her with different activities.   Thank you for bringing the light-ness back to her musical heart!

Crystal is the best teacher I have ever had. Not only does she have a huge ton of vocal knowledge but she has a hidden ability to transform you from the inside out. She has unlocked so many myths in my mind which have helped me gain the confidence to sing with my own unique voice.

​I can easily sing in front of an audience now with great enthusiasm and confidence, drawing people in and blessing them with my new found singing voice, which she helped me to get to know and love.
I highly recommend her as your vocal coach.

Ms. H is an amazing teacher, we are so happy we found her - she's a gem! My son has enjoyed every class that he's taken with her. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a gentle and holistic music teacher.

I studied jazz piano in college, and would sing along for fun. I met Crystal, and when I found out she was a voice teacher I signed up for lessons. It was so awesome studying with her as it was fun and easy, and I could feel and hear instant changes in the way I sang and sounded.
​
When I listen back to the recordings I've made of my songs over the years, there's my pre-lessons voice and my post-lessons voice; completely different and so much better since my year of lessons with Crystal! Thank you so much for your gift and your dedication to sharing it!

My daughter just loves her classes with Mrs. H... They're the highlight of my little's week. My kiddo loves the songs from class so much that she sings them for the rest of the week... Mrs. H has really brought the joy of music into my daughter's life.

Crystal is a  phenomenal voice coach. Her relaxed knowledgeable style guided me to better understand the technical aspects of how my voice creates sounds, and how to apply these techniques for an effortless, smooth, well rounded  tone. These lessons were an absolute game changer for me in finding my voice! If you're considering vocal lessons, I highly recommend you spend some time with this wonderful, extraordinary musical being.
