Voice lessons, singing lessons, cabarets, shows and private event entertainment in Scottsdale and Phoenix Arizona

Merrill Leffmann is a voice teacher who gives singing lessons in Scottsdale, Arizona, a singer who performs shows at private events throughout the Phoenix valley, a songwriter and a recording artist. 

VOICE TEACHER
Does your voice crack or strain?  Is your singing strong is one range and weak in another?  Ms. Leffmann excels at teaching students of all ages balanced, healthy and exciting singing.  A voice teacher for over 15 years, Ms. Leffmann has continually refined and advanced her teaching techniques as well as her own performance singing.  Her approach to teaching voice is an eclectic blend of what awards students with the most progress for their efforts.
All levels are welcome - from singers struggling to sing on-pitch, to people who want to recapture a joy of singing they have misplaced, to casual singers who want to sound better in their choirs and showers, to pre-professional soloists preparing for a performance career, to professional singers who are experiencing vocal difficulties.

Merrill Leffmann sang as a jazz soloist in clubs until she decided to explore opera and art song and receive her Masters in Music Performance in voice.  Ever restless to expand her vocal horizons, Merrill has continued to study and perform many other  genres (one-woman cabaret and female barbershop being the latest), and teaches her voice students the core of great singing that is the foundation of every style.

SHOW PERFORMER
Ms. Leffmann performs cabaret and specialty shows throughout the Phoenix valley.  These performances are as elaborate or as simple as the event entertainment demands.  Shows might be a one and a half hours, complete with costumes and choreography for corporate or other events, or two songs to help an anniversary or wedding sparkle, or a mini-show with fun props at a party... the event determines the show.
One specialty of Ms. Leffmann's is creating unique, and often funny characters in song. Her cabaret shows are spiced with songs and arrangements that are heard nowhere else.  Visit the demo page for a sample.

RECORDING ARTIST
Ms. Leffmann also records her own songs as well as the works of others, which can be arranged by her or recorded according to an existing arrangement.  She has a rich beautiful voice that recordings love.  Visit the recording pages to hear her latest lullaby CD and her new funny Christmas song, "Daddy Says (Mommy Cannot Lie)." check out the demo page to hear some samples or cabaret and other singing, and watch for more Christmas and Cabaret songs coming out in 2012.
