Kathleen Westbrook: Voice lesson Coach/Teacher - Allen, Texas

 "I've been singing for as long as I can remember - music has always been a huge part of my life! I started writing music at the young age of 5, and by the time I was 7 years old, I was already eager to learn more about songwriting.One of my earliest musical experiences was singing in a church choir from the ages of 7 to 10. During that time, I learned a lot about the different aspects of vocal technique, including head, chest, and mix voice. When I was 11 years old, I began taking private violin lessons with an amazing instructor named Ms. Farney. These lessons helped me develop my skills and my passion for the violin as well.

In high school, I joined the school orchestra and was proud to be the only freshman in the advanced orchestra. I worked hard to continue improving my skills, and during my first semester of sophomore year, I was selected as first chair. This was a huge honor and a great achievement for me, and it motivated me to continue pursuing my love of music. One of the most exciting experiences of my musical career was attending the Del Sol Performing Arts Academy and being part of the philharmonic program. This program allowed me to learn from some of the best musicians in the world and further develop my skills as a violinist.

During my time at the University of Nevada in Reno, I had the opportunity to learn how to compose music. It was a transformative experience that allowed me to explore my creativity and develop my skills as a musician. One of the people who had a huge impact on my journey was Mr. Lowery, an inspirational teacher at the university. Mr. Lowery taught me a lot about music theory, which was essential for understanding the mechanics of music and developing my skills as a composer. Thanks to Mr. Lowery's guidance, I was able to develop a deep understanding and appreciation for the art of music composition. Since then, I've dedicated myself to honing my craft and exploring all the different ways I can express myself through music. As a musician, I believe that each and every one of us has a unique voice and story to share.

Whether you're just starting out or you've been singing for years, I'm here to help you find your own creative voice and bring your musical ideas to life!"

Makala LoCicero: Voice lesson Coach/Teacher - Allen, Texas

Hey there, I'm Makayla, and my musical journey started when I was just a little one, twirling around in dance class and being drawn to the enchanting world of classical music.

At the age of 10, I began crafting my own tunes and tinkering on the piano. Initially, I learned by ear before formal lessons, and my parents, thinking I could conquer anything, surprised me with a guitar. Cue the YouTube tutorials, and I was off on a self-taught musical adventure!

As I hit a singing roadblock, I turned to voice lessons, eager to improve. In high school, I found myself in a college choir program, where my teacher suggested I delve deeper into my musical pursuits. Embracing every opportunity for exposure, I found myself on intriguing stages, from a TED Talk X show to showcasing my original pieces at recitals.

One of the most exciting prospects was landing a part in an opera summer camp in Berlin, but alas, the universe had other plans with the arrival of COVID, leading to a bit of disappointment. Undeterred, I joined the Dallas Symphony Chorus for a stint.

After graduating with my associates and navigating the challenges of the pandemic, I took an unexpected detour and became a flight attendant, satisfying my wanderlust. However, the call of music was too strong to resist, and I eventually found my way back. Starting with teaching dance and transitioning to music, I've found immense joy in sharing my passion and knowledge.

Now, I'm thrilled to be a part of Matt Burk Music Studio, blending my love for music with teaching. It's been quite the journey, and I'm excited to see where the notes and rhythms take me next!
