About the instructors:
Courtney FreedCourtney Freed loves sharing the JOY of singing with her students! She is a performing artist, teacher, producer and mom of two wild little boys!
No stranger to the local theatre scene, her most favorite recent role was Trina (Drammy nom!) in Live on Stage's Falsettos. She has also tread the boards of Portland Center Stage, Pixiedust Productions, Broadway Rose, Lakewood, Profile, Triangle Productions and many more. Courtney is the creator of the wildly popular local concert series, Portland Sings!, bringing together some of the city's finest vocalists for a magical evening in a variety of musical themes, a highlight being a fundraiser for the ACLU in 2016 called "Rise Up." An avid lover of vintage jazz, her first album titled "Happy Little Bluebird" lovingly celebrates the timeless melodies of Harold Arlen. Courtney is also the lead singer of local gypsy swing band, The Jenny Finn Orchestra! Courtney created a one-woman jazz tribute to the legendary Freddie Mercury called "Mercury Rising." [read more] |

Stephanie promotes a life of balance that includes the arts, self-care, and stress reduction.
Born and raised in Wichita Falls, Texas, Stephanie holds a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance (1998) from University of Colorado at Boulder and a Master of Music in Chamber Music Performance (2001) from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. As a full-time musician, she has enjoyed a wide array of music roles and experiences. Stephanie was lounge pianist at the 5-Star Adams Mark Hotel in Denver for one year between degrees.
