Meet Kate

Kate Rosen is passionate about helping others discover greater joy in singing.

She has taught hundreds of students with all sorts of different goals and dreams.  Some have gone on to musical theatre programs at schools including the University of Michigan, or have been selected as a classical soloist for the Michigan Youth Arts Festival.  Others have found their voices so they can enjoy karaoke with friends, finally get into the top choir at school, or just feel more like themselves.

A lifelong learner, Kate is fully certified in Evidence-Based Voice with Maddie Tarbox, level 2 certified in Somatic Voicework™ with Jeanie LoVetri, has studied Musical Theatre Coaching with Nate Plummer of Stagedoor Unlocked, and has studied vocal anatomy and science with Shannon Coates’ The Vocal Instrument.  She has also studied Transgender Voice and Speech Training for Teachers with Liz Jackson Hearns, a pioneer in the area of trans voice work.

She is also pioneering change in size inclusivity in the voice studio, having co-written a two-part article on the topic in the academic publication Journal of Singing, published in 2023. She has spoken on this topic at conferences for the Pan American Vocology Association, the Musical Theater Educator’s Alliance, the Association for Popular Music Education, The Speakeasy Cooperative, and more.

Kate earned her Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and her Master of Music in Voice Performance from the University of Michigan. She has served on the Board of Directors for the Detroit Children's Choir, and is a proud member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS). She’s also a member of the raddest group of voice teachers on the planet, the Speakeasy Cooperative. Kate is a former adjudicator for the Sutton Foster Ovation Awards, the Michigan branch of the Jimmy Awards.
