Maya teaches voice at Champaign School of Music while she works toward a degree in Choral Music Education at the University of Illinois.

Maya discovered her love for singing at a very young age when she
started performing in musicals. In addition to singing in her choral music curriculum, she
continues to perform in musicals on campus through the Lyric Theatre and Illini
Student Musicals.

She enjoys the opportunity to work with students and believes she is constantly learning and growing
alongside her students through private lessons. As a voice teacher, Maya aims to make each lesson feel like a safe space where students are free to try new things, explore the voice, and develop confidence in
singing.

It is important to her that she creates an environment of positivity, learning, and growth. She follows a student-centered approach and values meeting each individual student where they are. She chooses repertoire that the students enjoy and will allow the student to experience vocal and musical growth. Private lessons
are a wonderful way for students to discover new genres and learn about the voice as
their own unique instrument.
