Sing again, with your dear voice revealing
A tone Of some world far from ours,
Where music and moonlight and feeling
Are one.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Leah Crowne, Soprano
Our Team
Leah Crowne
Leah has been helping singers find and develop their own unique voices for over fifteen years. Her greatest goal and achievement is when a singer ends the lesson with that "Ah-ha breakthrough" smile, where a world of possibility has opened for them. With training in a variety of vocal techniques, she is comfortable working with all kinds of singers, including classical, musical theater, pop and more.
​​
With both a master of music and bachelor of music from the University of Maryland System, Leah has taught students from all over the world. Her three teaching residencies in Italy provided the opportunity to develop her communication skills, both linguistically and in body language, listening and technique. She was a professor of vocal studies at Gettysburg College and Mount St. Mary's University for eleven years, where she worked with many types of singers.
​​
Leah uses her own experience as an international opera singer as context for the work she does with her students. She has sung professionally in Norway, France, Germany, Austria, Italy and across the United States.To read more about her performing life, check out www.LeahCrowne.com.
