What are Trans Voice Lessons?

Voice lessons for folks who identify as members of the Trans Community! Depending on your goals this can look very different from person to person. Some common goal areas include:

• becoming re-acquainted with your changing voice as part of the HRT process

• learning how to utilize your voice in a way that is more gender affirming for you (while still being healthy for your body)

• becoming comfortable using your singing voice in a safe and trans-friendly environment 

Mel of Backwoods Music Therapy uses a music centered approach to voice work, but being a singer or having a "good" singing voice is NOT required to pursue these voice lessons!

Why Backwoods Music Therapy

Backwoods Music Therapy's owner/operator Mel Clark (they/them/theirs) identifies as part of the Trans Community and began providing Trans Voice Lessons after seeing a lack of Trans-Identifying providers offering these services. Mel has training in vocal techniques and vocal health as well as many years of experience as a professional vocalist. It is also important to recognize that vocal work can be a vulnerable experience and having someone who is apart of the community and approaching it from a therapeutic lense can be helpful.
