JESSE
Associate Voice Teacher
Jesse Maclaine began singing before she could speak and had her premiere solo performance at age 5. She studied music, acting, dance and musical theatre in 1st-12th grade as well as with private instructors and in community workshops. She continued her studies at Florida State University then moved to New Orleans to study Jazz immersively where she launched her career as a professional musician. Passionate about personal development, she returned to the University of Colorado and earned her BA in Music, Psychology, and Women's Studies in 2017.
With more than 30 years in the music business (and 10,000+ performance hours!) Jesse’s thriving career as an educator, performer, composer, recording artist, and producer informs her teaching style and empowers her to explore a wide range of topics with her students. She offers voice, piano and songwriting lessons as well as audition prep and gender affirming voice training to all ages and skill levels.
Jesse currently lives in Denver with her husband, 3 cats and 2 dogs. You can find her original music on all streaming platforms and her live performances most weekends in Colorado or 24/7 on YouTube. When she’s not making music, she loves to spend time with her family, meditate, garden, cook vegan food, play Mario Kart and watch animation, comedy, sci-fi, mystery, thriller and fantasy shows!
“Whether you're a professional seeking refinement or a beginner who has been told they “can’t sing,” I can help you! I’m a holistic voice teacher with a classical foundation and I approach each lesson singularly, never relying on standard formulas or textbook methodology. You will find I am open minded, easy going, compassionate, intuitive, highly skilled and lots of fun!
Lessons can be intensive or casual, depending upon your time commitment and goals. I customize each lesson to highlight and expand my student’s gifts, inspire their pursuit of knowledge, deepen self awareness, and optimize potential. Lessons are always a judgement free zone where you are safe to make mistakes and embrace your authentic self. I believe that music is for everyone and I am delighted to work with anyone who loves music!
