Shannon Boyle

Hello my name is Shannon Boyle. I have been teaching classical music for 18 years. I earned my Bachelor of Music from the University of Alberta in 1995. I then took my BFA in Acting which included 3 years of intensive vocal training for the stage.

I started singing before I could speak. I was allowed to sing myself to sleep, but was NOT allowed to sing before 7am. My favorite song before I started school was Keep On Singing. I won my first contest at the Crescent Park Gong show when I was 7 years old- singing You Are My Sunshine. I started piano lessons at the same age. My favorite activity growing up was hanging out on the swings harmonizing songs from the Sound of Music with my friends. I am not sure who I loved more; Julie Andrews, Karen Carpenter or ABBA . Now I like to listen to Edith Piaf, Jean Stillwell, Isabel Bayrakdarian, Gillian Welch, Nina Simone, and Jane Siberry.

I look forward to sharing the things I know about finding your natural voice and using it in a healthy way so that you can all rock out for many years to come!
