Stephanie Lindquist I have been teaching privately since 2001. I was an Adjunct Instructor at Black Hawk College, Moline, IL, until moving to Chicago area with My husband, Rick. Upon moving there I began teaching at Minooka High and at Stu's Studio as a private vocal instructor. Within nine months I took over Stu's Studio and renamed it Vocals & More. I was also a visiting instructor at Western Michigan University's Musical Theater Department in 2008.
Though Classically trained, I have performed a wide array of styles; Pop, Funk, Blues, Rock and Jazz. I received a B.A. in Vocal Performance from Augustana College, Rock Island, IL. Performances as Amahl, in Menotti's "Amahl and the Night visitors", Adele in Strauss Jr.'s "Die Fledermaus", Frieda in Sondhiem's "Sunday in the Park With George." I was also a Member of the Handel Oratorio Society, Augustana Choir. I became known as front singer to one of Quad Cities' favorite bands, Sin City Orchestra.

All though voice is my studios main instrument, I do offer piano and guitar to beginners. I highly recommend all singers learning either one or both of these instruments. They are invaluable tools for any aspiring vocalist. The learning of more than one instrument can be included in one lesson. I do recommend a minimum time of :45 to cover the appropriate amount of information. I teach vocal technique for all genres. By learning and developing proper breath support, focus, balance of tension and vowel placement, a singer can adapt to all musical stylings and stay healthy. Singing is a physical activity that needs to be coordinated to reach maximum potential. Singing should feel good. As I always say, "If it feels good, it will sound Grrreat!" I teach all ages from 11 to Adult. I teach High School students working towards contest or college auditions. I also work with college students to refine their musical theater belting technique, as well as Rock Singers finding ways to save their voices. Whether you want to sing in the shower or on the Stage, I can help you reach your vocal potential.
