My Vocal Teaching Strategies
I am a classically trained voice performer with extensive experience in musical theater production. Over the past 20 years, I have served on the church worship team and performed professionally in genres like jazz, blues, gospel, and pop across various stages and platforms.
As a diverse vocal artist and songwriter, I specialize in worship, leading, and writing contemporary gospel songs. My training includes techniques such as Bel Canto, Speech Level Singing, and John Henny’s Teaching Methods. These proven techniques allow me to tailor lessons to each student’s goals.

Music Audition & Performance Preparation
At Joann C Chang Studios, I am dedicated to preparing students for various vocal auditions and performances, including choirs, musical theater productions, talent shows, and student plays. I work closely with each student to select the perfect song that highlights their unique gifts and talents, whether their vocal range, dynamic expression, or stage presence. I also refine diction and confidence to help them land their preferred roles.
In addition to vocal coaching, I help students start performing at open mics, guiding them from singing alone to confidently performing in front of a crowd. I also create opportunities for them to showcase their skills, including biannual recitals, and other performance events.
For those preparing for more specialized performances, like worship leading, I offer tailored training to lead a congregation with spiritual songs, play an instrument, and overcome stage fright.
My commitment doesn’t end in the studio. I love supporting my students by attending their shows and performances and celebrating their growth and successes. Let me help you shine on stage!
