Jae (she/them) is our amazing new teacher in the trans voice department. Jae is in process of their Masters in vocal pedagogy but comes to us with a decade of teaching experience. Jae is a very approachable and able to connect with their students and community and is doing a mentorship with Dr Felix in trans voice.
Jae’s personal experience as an enby singer, as well as their experience having a trans sister, informs their approach with our trans and enby clients.
One thing Jae says they can never forget is something their teacher told her: “Teaching is first about empathy”. And that sums up Jae’s approach in a really beautiful way.
Jae is working with Dr Felix to become certified in trans voice with our studio.
