Online Vocal Lessons & Group
Workshops
Does this sound like you?
You’ve always wanted to sing and maybe have even imagined yourself singing in front of others.
Yet you still carry a story that you tell yourself about how you “can’t sing” and this prevents you from even trying.
Now, you’re ready to step into your voice and you’re looking for a teacher to help you unlock your freedom of expression.
You’re in the right place!
I started my musical life as a French horn player.
I didn't start singing until I was in my early 20's.
I was terrified to sing, and even though I believed I “couldn’t sing,” I knew I had a voice inside.
As a horn player, I decided to visualize and use my body as an instrument. I learned to “play” all the parts of myself, including my physical body, mental body, and emotional body.
With a degree from the Peabody Conservatory of Music, decades of wonderful voice teachers,
a disciplined Yoga and Meditation practice,
and studies and continuing education in Vocal Pedagogy,
Alexander Technique, Reiki, and Body Mechanics,
I’ve learned to love my vocal instrument and open a channel through which music can flow easily and enjoyably.
I have been teaching online voice lessons for the past 10 years and have worked with hundreds of students to help them find their authentic, comfortable singing voice. I can help you, too!
The Vocal Ladder Method
With this knowledge and experience I’ve created The Vocal Ladder, a step-by-step somatic approach to teaching voice, to help you understand how your body makes sound, moves energy, and can even heal and connect your mind, body, and soul.
Play your Body
as an Instrument
To find your own authentic, divine singing voice, you need to start by understanding how to play your body as an instrument. Each rung of “The Vocal Ladder” aligns with one of the major 7 chakras of the body.
Together we'll explore how singing moves energy through the body for emotional healing and how you can use this method to speak and sing your truth clearly from your heart.
“Sahffi’s approach takes a lot of the fear and unease out of learning how to make sound and sing from the heart.”
Camille Eroy-Reveles MPH, voice student
“Stage fright was one of the things that kept me away from doing this earlier. Sahffi’s encouragement built up my confidence enough to go onstage and finally face the crowd."
Sharon, Vocal Student
"Sahffi Lynne is amazing! She is helping me overcome a lifelong fear and block around singing. It's enjoyable and fun and she's a genius at the craft of helping you to sing."
Tim M, voice student
"Sahffi is a talented, fun and loving musician and voice coach. She combines her knowledge of vocal techniques, anatomy, and subtle energy in her classes. I highly recommend her to anyone who'd like to work on their vocal abilities, regardless of age and experience."
Isabel, voice student
"As a student of Sahffi's I want to give her the highest recommendation possible. I am miles ahead of where I was just after two and a half months of her lessons and she has honed in on everything I needed to change to bring out a voice I never thought I had. She also is super nice."
Michael, voice student
I am always excited to share the joy of singing with those who have always wanted to sing, those who think they “can’t sing,” and even those who already sing and want more connection with their authentic voice.
Connecting to your voice is your divine right, and I am here to help you connect to that joy! I will meet you where you are and help you move past any fear you may have about finding or using your voice.
I have been teaching Online Voice Lessons for the past 10 years to hundreds of students all over the world.

Lesson Fees & Studio Policies
Sahffi’s fees for Online Voice Lessons are on a Tiered Pricing Model.
Voice lessons are 60 minutes long.

Tiered Pricing is a tool that allows for a product or service to be obtained at multiple price points based on the circumstances of the purchaser. For Tiered Pricing to work it relies on the principles of truthfulness, respect for complexity, and accountability. I do not ask for income verification; I trust my clients to be honest. Community thrives when accountability is a central value.
I find the idea of “sacrifice vs. hardship” to be a very useful nuance when deciding where one lands on the “sliding scale,” because it recognizes and respects that paying for something might still be a challenge even if it is just a short-term one while giving appropriate space for those who are dealing with financial hardship.
If paying for a class, product, or service would be difficult, but not detrimental, it qualifies as a sacrifice. You might have to cut back on other spending in your life such as going out to dinner, buying daily Starbucks coffee, or a new outfit, but this will not have a long term harmful impact on your life. It is a sacred sacrifice in order to pursue something you are called to do. The recommended level here is either “Sustaining” or “Strengthening.”
If, however, paying for a class, product, or service would lead to a harmful impact on your life, then you are in a space of needing support. This would qualify you for a “Supportive” or “Scholarship” spot.
Being honest with yourself and your financial situation when engaging with sliding scale and tier-leveled practices grows strong and sustainable communities. It also respects my work, my support team, plus the necessary time, energy, and costs that go into these types of events.
Thank you for considering an exchange level from your heart that mirrors the value you receive from this work and the reality of your budget.

“Sahffi created a warm and safe space for singers of all levels and backgrounds from the very first moment, so important for the vulnerable act of singing. The workshop was a combination of pleasure, mindfulness, and learning. Sahffi skillfully guided us on a ‘tour,’ if you will, of our bodies; specifically, the mindfulness, focus and actions leading up to breathing and singing. Her mastery lies in the creation of this safe space and having wisdom to share her experience with all those who enter. I would recommend her workshop for those who've always wanted to explore their voices but haven't yet and also to those who are very experienced singers.”
Kristen Toedtman, member of the LA Master Chorale and Former Director of the Peabody Community Choir
