Our Story
Collaborate
The voice doesn't thrive in isolation. Neither does the work.
First Instrument Studio was built on the belief that healing, learning, and artistry are most powerful when they happen in community. The Integrative Vocal Wellness™ framework lives at the intersection of voice science, healing arts, social-emotional learning, and sacred practice - work that calls for partners who share a commitment to the whole person.
I'm open to collaboration with organizations and institutions that are doing meaningful work in wellness, education, the arts, and justice. If your mission overlaps with mine, I'd love to explore what we might build together.
I'm especially drawn to partners in:
— Wellness & healing arts organizations
— Academic institutions & music conservatories
— Faith communities & sacred arts spaces
— Cultural arts organizations centering equity & access
— Corporate wellness programs investing in the whole human
What collaboration with First Instrument Studio can look like:
Workshops & residencies | Voice wellness, SEL, and sacred practice brought into your community or institution
Curriculum development | Integrating the IVW™ framework into your existing programs and offerings
Speaking & keynotes | The intersection of voice, wellness, healing, and identity — for conferences and convenings
Co-created programs | Longer-term partnerships built around shared vision and community impact
