Voice Teachers

Shauna Garrison

Shauna Garrison received her B.A. in Music Education from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, MO.  She has sung with numerous choirs and ensembles from college through today, including singing with the St. Louis Symphony Chorus for three seasons early in her career.  She has been teaching private voice lessons for 28 years in the Clear Lake area from home, at Clear Falls High School, and at Clear Lake High School.

Lessons with Mrs. Garrison consist of breathing exercises as a foundation for good sound and projection, instruction on proper posture, vocalizing exercises to increase range and tone, lessons on diction for clarity, ear training for pitch, and practice singing selected music for choir and solo competitions.  In her words, “I enjoy working one-on-one with young people who love to sing and want to improve their skills.  We will work together to build your confidence, improve your stage presence, and bring out the best of your musical ability!”
