In 2019 Faith moved from the Black Hills of South Dakota to Southern California to pursue her career in music. She has a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from The Master’s University and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Vocal Performance at Azusa Pacific University. Faith is a classically trained soprano, and most recently performed in Vienna, Austria in Puccini’s Sour Angelica and Mozart’s The Magic Flute with the 2023 Vienna Summer Music Festival. Faith also has many acclaimed performances in musical theater such as “The Witch” in Into the Woodsand “Maria” in the Sound of Music. She also performs regularly as a concert soloist and has performed for audiences of thousands at church and university events. Faith has been studying voice since she was 11 years old and greatly believes in the wonderful difference lessons can have on one’s voice. She is very grateful to have had several fantastic voice teachers throughout her life who have helped uncover the beauty in her voice and have pushed her to greater musical expression. It is because of the impact the teachers in her life have made that she is inspired to do the same for her students. Faith’s teaching philosophy is to help build confidence in her students by using healthy technique that will provide great vocal control for a lifetime of singing. It’s important to Faith that not only are her students growing in their vocal ability but that they are also having fun while doing so by exploring the emotions and characters of each song they sing. Many details go into singing, from technique to diction to acting, and she is excited to help her students with all that goes into excellent singing at Applause Music Academy!
