Private Lessons

Rooted in semi-traditional Western voice and songwriting pedagogy but taught through a decolonial and radically inclusive lens, Rowan’s teaching integrates somatic awareness, performance theory, and ethnomusicology to support singers and songwriters of all backgrounds. Their pedagogy bridges the technical with the intuitive, offering students a deeply embodied, play/pleasure oriented, and trauma-informed approach to voice.

A dedicated mentor,  Rowan specializes in working with those who feel alienated from their voices and creative process—whether due to performance anxiety, creative blocks, or systemic barriers in traditional music training. They reject rigid, one-size-fits-all methods in favor of a practice that is adaptive, liberatory, and scientifically grounded. Their students range from professional performers to those reclaiming their voices for the first time, all of whom find a space that honors both technical rigor and deep self-expression.
