Red Curtain Feature

Introducing 12 year old Flynn, who loves musical theatre! She's been doing great work with vocal experimentation lately and will look forward to a summer break pretty soon. 

This is a song from a favourite musical of hers, Hamilton.

Hi, I'm Karyn.

I'm a creative at heart, meaning I enjoy everything creative! I love to share my passion for voice, writing and music with others and support their unique journey. My virtual studio enables me to reach far and wide where I enjoy working with students internationally.

 

Specialising in contemporary voice and training internationally, I also like playing the ukulele along with a few other instruments. My vocal work is influenced by the Estill Voice Model, and I have also previously trained in Speech Level Singing.

 

I'm known for helping students grow in confidence, advocating for their voice (including healthy production) and guiding their increase in skill and technique.

 

I'm passionate about helping people find their true, authentic and unique voice, both internally and externally, whether vocally or in their songwriting.

Testimonials

"Even though I haven't been learning with Karyn for very long, I am always blown away by how kind and supportive she is. She's incredibly passionate about singing, which makes her an awesome teacher with a wealth of knowledge! I've loved learning about different vocal exercises, which have been super useful for practising - she's helped me discover what I'm capable of. Plus, because it's online, I can fit my lessons in with everything else. You can't get better than that".

Beka Hunt, Canterbury

"Karyn has helped me a lot to improve my singing. She's really kind and supportive too. She has helped me to improve my range by using different techniques. Thank you Karyn for being such a great teacher". 

Flynn Hamrick, USA, age 12

"You have helped me grow my confidence to make my dream come true, to connect with my Mum through singing".

Karyn Ngatai, Gisborne

"Karyn was one of the best music teachers my daughter ever had. My daughter initially had little confidence in herself and her beautiful voice but Karyn's experience, positivity, support and beautiful nature absolutely brought the best out of my daughter. This support resulted in a young lady who now sings with confidence, performs and even professionally recorded some of her own songs. Thanks Karyn for being such an important and positive influence on Nikki's life."

Wendy Mosch, Tuakau

"This was a wonderful class. Miss Karyn was very patient with my shy child. She adapted well to my daughter's singing level, and successfully brought my daughter out of her shell."

Anon, USA

"Miss Karyn is a wonderful teacher. Very patient. Scaffolds well. Engaging."

Anon, USA
