My vocal training includes many styles and techniques. I took lessons with
a rock singer when I was very young and studied musical theatre in my teens.
During my college years at Brown University, I underwent four years of jazz
vocal training and also spent a semester studying South Indian singing. I
graduated with a degree in Ethnomusicology: the anthropological study of music.
Ethnomusicology attempts to understand the relationship between culture and
music among the world's people.
As a performer, I am known for my voice as well as my songwriting. I have
released four albums and spent nearly a decade touring in both the US and
Europe playing at clubs, concert halls, and festivals. My music has been featured
on NPR, BBC Radio, and reviewed worldwide. My website rebeccapronsky.com
has more info, including tour dates and sound clips.
I currently teach voice to children, teens and adults privately in my home studio. I have also taught through the Willie May Rock Camp for Girls, Day Jams Music Program, National Guitar Workshop and the Berkeley Carroll School.
My personal philosophy about music is that it should be more broadly accessible. Singing, especially, is something that comes to us naturally and should not be reserved for a few so-called experts. I hope that through my teaching more people feel comfortable using their voices and that they take that confidence and enjoyment out into the world with them.
