Whitney Hamblin is an experienced teacher and a diverse performer. She earned a BMA  in vocal performance from BYU-Idaho, a MM in voice from Brigham Young University, and DM in voice from the  Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University.  She earned a certificate in Vocology from Indiana University and has a specific passion for vocal pedagogy.  Her knowledge of voice science and integration of instrument-specific training exercises in her studio has helped her students meet their vocal goals. Further teaching and research interests include mindful voice technique, performance psychology, training the developing voice, and the benefit of positive performance experience.

Whitney has taught voice for 12 years in a private studio, group voice, and classroom setting. She taught as an adjunct professor of voice at BYU, as an Associate Instructor of voice at Indiana University, as a voice instructor at Stafford Music Academy in Bloomington, IN, and as a K-12 music teacher in the public school system of Montana. 

Performing is a joyful experience for Ms. Hamblin! Her most memorable operatic performances include The Countess from The Marriage of Figaro, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni, Fiordiligi in Cosi Fan Tutte, Rosalinde from Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus, and Marguerite in Gounod’s Faust. As a recitalist, she dedicates her programs to Spanish Art Song from Europe and Latin America, Modern Art Song set to the poetry of Sara Teasdale, and the Songs of Female Composers through the ages. She loves performing musicals, and her most recent roles consist of Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Witch from  Into the Woods, and Millie from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. 

Although much of her time is spent in the realm of classical, choral and musical theater singing, her first love is country music. You will often find her with her guitar performing alongside family members at local gigs. She cherishes the opportunity to go back to her roots in a country western band created by her parents. 

Whitney believes beautiful, healthy singing can and should be applied to all genres. Her primary aim as an instructor and performer is vocal health and efficient voice usage. She knows as her students apply correct principles of singing, they will find freedom and joy as individual artists.
