about
Hello! My name is Jacqueline Bell and I just moved back to my hometown of Santa Fe, New Mexico after earning my Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance with a Minor in Italian from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
I'm excited to connect with new students here in Santa Fe and share what I've learned through over 16 years of study and performance. My musical journey began right here in Santa Fe, where I trained wit hthe Santa Fe Opera Young Voices program and performed for three years with the Santa Fe Symphonic Choir. Those early experiences shaped my passion for music and my belief in the voice as a powerufl tool for connection and expression.
I teach a wide range of styles, from classica land opera to musical theater, pop and even practical piano for isngers who want to accompany themselves while performing their favorit songs (one of my favorite activities to do in my free time).
In addition to vocal technique and expression, I also have extensive knowledge of diction and pronunciation. If you're interested in singing in Italian, Spanish, French, or German, I can help you approach the language with clarity and confidence. Music theory will be included throughout the lessons as needed, just the most important concepts I feel one should understand in order to better themselves as a musician. I am completely open to crafting each lesson to what you are searching for.
More than anything, I love all music equally, and I want to help others feel confident, expressive, and at home in their own voice. Whether you're just beginning or returning to music after a break, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build the skills to sing with ease and joy!
