Sessions with other Rooted Voice Instructors:
Maybe you’re just beginning your journey into singing, or perhaps you’ve already worked with a few voice coaches—or even studied vocal performance. Wherever you’re at, the right guidance can help your voice truly shine.
All Rooted Voice Instructors have had extensive individual vocal training with Founder Ellee Achten and also completed the somatic-based vocal teaching program at The Rooted Voice in order to become instructors. They all bring unique presence to their lessons, while still aligning with The Rooted Voice vocal approach.
If you’re new here, we’ll start with a free 30-minute Voice Profile with your choice of Rooted Voice Instructor to help you discover the unique sound only you can make. Lessons are 60 minutes long, held online so you can sing and grow from anywhere, whether weekly or every other week.

Group
For 2 to 10 singers, group lessons include all the same instruction and techniques as individual lessons, including a free, separate 15-min Voice Profile with each student. Each lesson is tailored to the groups goals and style. Group instruction allows singers who may be too shy or need extra support to begin exploring their voices. Group lessons can also be a perfect choice for vocal ensembles, small chorales, or religious musical teams. Scheduled weekly or bi-weekly, each lesson lasts 60 minutes. Virtual or in-person.

“I've had 3 previous teachers and Ellee is by far the best. She's incredibly knowledgeable in voice. She helped bring out my natural tone rather than my classical voice I was originally trained in."
— Allison DeWitt, singer/songwriter in Cleveland, Ohio
