Born and raised in Crystal City, MB, I had the opportunity to develop and grow my own musicianship across this province. I am thrilled to be offering voice and music lessons in Winkler, Steinbach, and Winnipeg. This province has a rich history of music making, and I am so grateful to have been steeped in these traditions. I am excited to be working with developing musicians in this area to help them understand the power of their voices! I enjoy teaching students of all ages and abilities. Although my expertise is in classical voice and musical theater, I try to encourage my students to experiment with a wide variety of musical genres. My primary goal is to help each student reach their personal goals. If you have any questions at all about my teaching style, or questions about voice lessons, you can contact me here.

When I was in my undergraduate degree, I was asked to develop a personal philosophy of music education, and became fascinated by this phrase. I was intrigued by the simplicity and broadness of this sentiment. Find Your Voice. It wasn’t until I went to a choral concert lead by my high school choral director, Rick Heppner-Mueller, when I realized that I had first learned this phrase from him. Throughout my life, my career as a performer and teacher has been informed by so many different teachers and musicians. Voice teachers, choral directors, piano teachers, coaches, acting teachers, dance instructors, English teachers and so many others. Each of these people have helped me to discover the power of my own voice. My job as a voice teacher is to empower my students to use their own voices. This is the centerpiece of my philosophy of voice education. More specifically, my job is to help students understand their instruments, to develop smart musicianship, and to nurture their artistry. All of these things can help someone find their voice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be45921107fd2cda662e95/1624292424168-GEEL16T53NBM69I4FPXY/68312327_1053503938186217_4490414807916216320_n.jpg Philosophy of Teaching - Understanding Your INstrument The creation of vocal tone is dependent on the instrument of the individual. My job is to help each student learn how their instrument works, so that they can use their instrument in a healthy, efficient way to create beautiful sound. This understanding will empower the singer to experiment in a variety of styles and genres. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be45921107fd2cda662e95/1624293283288-C4FCUK23AHQFYF6LDHSF/68781311_979346342417955_4454770960226058240_n.jpg Philosophy of Teaching - developing smart Musicianship Developing smart musicianship involves training the skills of sight reading, ear training, and understanding the basics of music theory and history. This helps us to collaborate with other performers and gives us a deeper understanding of the tradition of music making we are participating in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be45921107fd2cda662e95/1624293077152-ZF1XRUDHJ9TXWV2MOWA9/69150601_491707071663766_7790704224039337984_n.jpg Philosophy of Teaching - Nurturing the artist Above all, singing is an art form. To develop artistry, we must explore storytelling, have an understanding of the context of the music we are performing, and experiment with musical elements. These skills will help us to create engaging performances. https://www.alyssahildebrand.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-07-10 https://www.alyssahildebrand.com/lesson-locations-1 daily 0.75 2023-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be45921107fd2cda662e95/1624748171350-TZRPSS9LGNQOH0NPV3L3/IMG_9603.jpg Lesson Locations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be45921107fd2cda662e95/1624748094172-AMQ6U9AYJ5H8XNO5NO5A/IMG_8356.jpg Lesson Locations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be45921107fd2cda662e95/1624310946355-7NBF5MG65WLJOTH37JEQ/20190911_180026.jpg Lesson Locations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.alyssahildebrand.com/registration daily 0.75 2023-08-24 https://www.alyssahildebrand.com/new-page daily 0.75 2023-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be45921107fd2cda662e95/1624748439183-4Q5SHYI0IKB2W9O727IN/7EA0B440-C06B-4F8B-85B8-F5F559E4355C.JPG Resources - Contracts Contracts for the 2023-2024 year will be available by July 2023.

This understanding will help you connect deeper with the music you are studying and performing. This skill is easily transferred to any other instrument you would like to explore. Integrated: Music Theory will be included in all voice lessons to some degree. For those interested in a formal study of music theory, this can be accommodated by request. For those interested in this, I would recommend signing up for 45 minute or 60 minute lessons. Independent: This course is designed for those who are interested in studying music theory independent of voice lessons, and is catered to the goals of the student. This is for anyone interested pursuing music further in any instrument, for those prepping for an RCM exam, or those interested in learning more about music theory. These lessons can be in-person or online. https://www.alyssahildebrand.com/about-1-1 daily 0.75 2023-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be45921107fd2cda662e95/50126f30-97d7-4d53-9cc8-b583c92b4d6b/Screenshot+%2868%29.png
