Sabrina Learman

Sabrina Learman strives to be a steady guide for her students as they uncover their supremely authentic voices, both technical and personal. She aims to help them understand that healthy, sustainable, flexible, acrobatic, and spontaneously expressive singing starts with an intimate familiarity with the unique workings of the mind and body — and a sincere appreciation of a singer's (literally) one-of-a-kind instrument. Sabrina wants every student to focus on their own next technical steps, combined with the freedom to vocally experiment along the way. She hopes students will have something new to think about by the end of every lesson and that they will join her in this truly joyful practice of continual vocal discovery.

Sabrina's boundless passion for urging her students toward healthy, sustainable, and deeply personalized vocal expression is undeniable. Her students have been heard and seen in Broadway (and off-Broadway) productions and international tours; they have been accepted to prestigious conservatory and summer programs in opera and musical theatre, and they have taken prizes in a myriad of local and national competitions.

Summer teaching, adjudicating, vocal directing, and classes in acting the song include Lyric First Stage, My College Audition, Fusion Arts Exchange, Hotchkiss Summer Portals Vocal Chamber program, Summer Institute for the Vocal Arts, and Emerson College.

Sabrina is engaged in breath work and yoga studies under the tutelage of David Magone, which she folds into her 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: Kevin Wilson, Kathleen Kaun, Ruth Falcon, Thomas Paul, Tamara Brooks, and Jan DeGaetani. 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.
