My daughter was feeling hesitant about continuing vocal lessons and then a friend recommended Ms. Carly. Since starting with the program, my daughter’s self confidence has grown and there is a marked improvement in her vocal abilities. But most importantly, she truly enjoys going to her lessons and is always happy to get extra time working on her craft. Ms. Carly is patient and listens to her students. She is never dismissive about what the student perceives as a problem, but instead works to encourage and have them use safe and fun ways to get over whatever hump they are facing.
— Donna T.Carly is absolutely wonderful! She is so talented and works well with my teens. My son and daughter have each gained so much knowledge and help from her with vocal coaching, song writing, performance and musical theater in the last 9 months.
- Kristi Z.Carly is amazing! She has helped me so much with my vocal technique. She is always kind and welcoming, and our lessons are always fun and productive. She is the best!

About Carly
Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Carly and I would love to be your vocal coach!
I began my career absolutely obsessed with music. I began singing on stage with my Dad when I was 5, and was in my first musical when I was in 4th grade. I continued to pursue theatre in college and graduated from Abilene Christian University with a BFA in Musical Theatre in 2020.
I started teaching right out of college. It started out as a way for me to support myself while I was prepping for auditioning and promoting my singer-songwriter career, but the more I learned about teaching… the more I just could not get enough of it!
I spent night after night reading about the voice, signing up for workshops and researching. I was starting to make sense of something that I always found frustrating as a young performer. We have a lot more control over our voices than we think we do.
Singing is often attributed to talent. There are so many cliches around that statement alone that singers have been internalizing since well… the beginning of singing! Getting the privilege of working with over 200 students in my career, I can definitely attest that our ideas behind talent are deeply flawed and usually tied up in our own shame ridden and perfectionistic tendency.
That is why my main priority as your vocal coach is to give you agency. Your voice really can do things that you never could have imagined it could do! We will work together to approach your vocal training from a place of self compassion and curiosity.
Making the decision to sign up for lessons can feel scary, but if you make the decision to be vulnerable and take the plunge, then I would be absolutely honored to be your coach!

Why Take Vocal Lessons?
Voice lessons are a way for students to have a safe space to express themselves and their creativity! It gives students a foundation of healthy vocal technique, so that they can explore different styles and creativities through their voice. When you sign up for a lesson, you’ll learn more about your range, how to accurately correct your own pitch, ways to produce different sounds with a voice science based approach, and stylistic and artistic coaching. Students have the option to base their lessons around vocal health and performance, song writing and original music coaching, musical and modern contemporary song interpretation, beginning piano lessons, or acting and monologue coaching.
