Your Voice, Your Words — Time to Make Some Damn Music

Hi, I'm Valerie. Songwriting has been part of my life for more than half of it — and for years I kept it to myself, too scared to let anyone hear. A cancer diagnosis changed that. My one regret was never sharing the words I'd written with other people. I beat the damn thing, and now I'm here to help you uncover and share your own voice. So let's write some damn music! :)

Who We Are & What We Offer

ValerieElizabethMusic welcomes singers and songwriters wherever they are — whether you sing in the shower, in a choir or on a stage, and whether you've been writing for years or have never let anyone read a single line. The aim here is simple: help you get comfortable enough to make real sound, and hand you tools you can put to use the moment you walk out the door. No auditions, no pressure — just honest work on the voice and the words.

Services & Highlights

• Preparing for Your First Voice Lesson — What to bring, how to warm up, and what really goes on in that first session (spoiler: it's diagnostic, not performative).
• Private Voice Lessons — Warm-ups, breath support, registration and song work shaped around your goals and your voice.
• Songwriting Guidance — From private scribbles to stories you share, I help you shape lyrics and melodies that sound like you.
• Performance & Confidence Coaching — Practical tools for singing out loud, whether you're shy or already stage-ready.

Ready to Begin?

Your first lesson is a conversation — and a chance to hear your own voice clearly. Bring water, two songs (one you love and one you find hard) and an open mind. Leave the pressure at the door. If questions come up before you book — about repertoire, scheduling or the style you'd like to explore — just reach out through the site and ask. The best first step is simply showing up and singing.
