Sabrina Learman

Sabrina Learman's boundless energy for urging students toward healthy, sustainable, and deeply personal vocal expression is undeniable. She aims to help each singer understand that spontaneously expressive singing demands an intimate familiarity with the unique workings of their own voice and body - and a sincere appreciation for the miraculous gift of a one-of-a-kind instrument. As each student works to uncover their supremely authentic sound, Sabrina invites them to focus inward, on their next technical steps, combined with the freedom to play and vocally experiment. She hopes her students will have something new to ponder by the end of every lesson and that they will join her in this truly joyful practice of continual vocal discovery.

Sabrina’s students have been heard and seen in Broadway (and off-Broadway) productions and international tours (including Hamilton, A Beautiful Noise, RENT, American Idiot, Les Misérables). You can hear them on cruise ships, at summer stock, and open mics. They have been accepted to prestigious conservatory and summer programs in musical theatre and opera, and they have taken prizes in a myriad of local and national competitions.

A serious student of breath work and yoga, Sabrina folds these concepts into her own teaching. She holds degrees in voice from the Eastman School of Music and New England Conservatory and remains grateful for her teachers and mentors, whose wisdom is ever present in the teaching studio. Sabrina is a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing and Musical Theater Educators' Alliance and is a mentor for the University of Rochester/Eastman School of Music.

Sabrina is on the voice faculty of Emerson College’s BFA Musical Theatre program. Summer teaching, adjudicating, and classes in acting the song include ArtsBridge, Lyric First Stage, My College Audition, Fusion Arts Exchange, Hotchkiss Summer Portals Vocal Chamber program, Summer Institute for the Vocal Arts, and Emerson College.
