Andrea Love, Studio Director
Soprano
Vocals, piano, audition prep
Recording studio vocal coach
Andrea Love’s pursuit of singing began at age 3 in liturgical choirs, followed by classical piano and clarinet studies at age 8. She began arranging and orchestrating piano pieces for her school band at age 11, and composing original classical piano pieces at age 14. Her love of world music took her around the world to study genres ranging from Irish sean-nos ("old-style") singing, to African rhythms, Balkan traditional singing, and more. She's an award-winning singer in Irish Music Competitions around the US, in addition to being an accomplished vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter. Decades of experience performing in musical theatre productions lends an added depth and perspective to her teaching practice. She frequently contributes her voice and songwriting skills to recording projects both locally and nationally.
Andrea's number one passion is singing and helping others learn to sing while also enjoying the process. In her teaching, she uses both Classical and non-classical techniques, along with vocal pedagogy, vocal science, and an understanding of how the brain learns and retains new skills to help you discover and refine your musical voice. Drawing from both "real world" experience and her formal studies she helps you take your skills and performance to the next level, (while having a blast in the process, of course!) After all - it's all about YOUR next performance!
Andrea studied Classical vocal technique and traditional Irish singing at Georgia State University and University College Cork, Ireland. While pursuing her degree in music and voice, she studied privately for several years with instructors Karen Parks (The Studio for Vocal Refinement) and Valerie Walters in Atlanta, GA, and with John Grau and Joel Burcham at CU Boulder.
