As a teacher, Ms. Keeport is dedicated to teaching so that the student’s goals are realized. Although her instruction is based in classical technique, Ms. Keeport’s students progress musically in other genres as well, including musical theater, folk, jazz standards, pop, and contemporary Christian. Lessons are available in 30-minute ($25), 45-minute ($40), and 60-minute ($50) segments. 30-minute demonstration lessons are available for free, and student rates are available for current, full-time, self-supported college and graduate students. Ms. Keeport believes that ‘Singing is mental before it is anything else’, but also that each student walking through the door is a holistic being, and therefore, while singing begins in the mind, all parts of the human experience influence the result.
