Singing Instruction

Helping you understand your voice and sing healthily no matter the style

Meet John Ray

My students have performed all over the world in musicals, operas, cruise ships, theme parks, and in all styles of commercial music. I personally have performed in the United States and Europe, and have worked in the Nashville music scene as a teacher, stage performer, music director, composer/lyricist, and session singer for 3 decades. I have taught at several universities and hosted master classes in the southeastern United States. I hold an earned Doctorate in Music and Vocal Performance, and a Masters in Counseling. My education, and vast experience can help you as a singing performer on three levels... technical, artistic, and psychological.
