Lucy Stearns
Lucy began her vocal journey during elementary school when she began participating in her school’s theater program in her hometown of Seattle, WA. After years of performing throughout middle school, she began taking formal voice lessons in eighth grade through a private voice studio, and her passion grew immensely. As she strengthened her instrument, she also became more interested in becoming more versatile as a singer. During her first two years at Berklee College of Music, she participated in concert choir, and a ten-person vocal jazz choir, in an effort to expand her knowledge of the voice.
She then discovered the musical theater clubs at Berklee, and immediately became involved as much as possible. She rediscovered how much her love of performance was rooted in this genre, and she knew that she wanted to make musical theater performance a part of her major.
Alongside her performance pursuits, Lucy developed a growing interest in teaching and leadership. She became a board member of SuperHuman Arts and began studying private voice, ultimately declaring a Professional Music major, and a minor in Musical Theater Performance.
Music is widely regarded as an art form that brings people together. How does it manage to do this, when every human experience is unique? Lucy’s teaching philosophy is based around the idea that storytelling is what makes music the most impactful. That is what makes music something that people can resonate with, and when a singer can approach songs from that perspective foundationally, they will give the most authentic and powerful performances.
Musical theater is her specialty, though she also has experience in pop, jazz, classical, and indie folk genres. Through technical vocal work, and performance and acting skills, Lucy wants to encourage her students to sing from a place of earnestness and joy, that helps them connect to both the music and their audience alike.
