**NEW** CYT Private Voice Lessons!

This year, Christian Youth Theater is proud to offer private voice lessons at the CYT Annex in Noblesville.  You must be a current CYT member to participate in CYT's voice lessons.

Private voice lessons teach the student proper breathing techniques, extend their vocal range, help them "find their own sound" instead of imitating others, and how to care for your vocal chords while singing. Voice instructors also prepare you for upcoming auditions.  Most importantly, voice lessons help you sing more confidently!

Mary Beth Coolidge

Mary Beth Coolidge teaches Wednesdays from 3 - 7 p.m.  Mary Beth's rates are $30/half hour.

Mary Beth Coolidge currently serves as the Voice and Movement Professor for the Musical Theatre and Theatre programs at Anderson University. A certified Alexander Technique teacher (ATIm), Mary Beth enjoys guiding her students to achieve their artistic goals with ease, freedom and support. Her artistic home is in classical singing and opera in which she holds a Bachelors of Music from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and a Masters of Music from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Mary Beth completed her 1200-hour Alexander Technique certification in 2016. She has had the privilege of teaching voice lessons at the collegiate and amateur levels for the past eight years. Mary Beth is passionate about arts education for young people, seeing first-hand the positive effects it can have in one’s life - onstage and off.  Notable performances include: Marion (The Music Man), Zerlina (Don Giovanni), Lisette (La Rondine), Jenny Slade (Roman Fever), Kate (Pirates of Penzance), Hero (L’Egisto).  She also greatly enjoys giving recitals and taking part in cabarets. In her free time Mary Beth enjoys hiking, reading, and playing outside with her two daughters.

Jaimie Mosier

CYT's own Jaimie Mosier, teaches Mondays between 3:30 and 8 p.m.  Jaimie's rates are $25/half hour or $45/hour.  (Hour lessons are not available for students under 14.)

Jaimie is so excited to begin teaching private voice lessons with CYT! Learning proper technique is very important for singers, but what Jaimie loves most about teaching private lessons is that so many life skills can be learned. Jaimie was born and raised in Sandusky, Ohio and graduated in 2015 from Anderson University (Anderson, Indiana) with a BA in Music Business. 

Her favorite role was Jane in Tarzan (2019), where she made life-long friends and met her now husband.  She currently lives on the south side of Indy with her husband and puppy. Jaimie has loved being a part of the CYT family since 2016, music directing and teaching classes.
