Our world no longer sings. We have been told that our voices are too loud, too quiet, or too abrasive.

How do we return to our unique individual Song?
How can we sing the Mountain awake at dawn?
How does our sound merge with the Owl as it searches for its beloved at twilight?

Everyone has a Song. What is yours?

About me

Your voice is not something you fix — it’s a living, breathing facet of yourself that you can deepen your relationship with and learn to trust.

My name is Thylan, and I long to help you find and express your unique sound.

I offer holistic vocal coaching and songwriting mentorship for beginners, self-taught singers, and songwriters who want to explore their voice with curiosity, safety, and depth. My approach blends the science of sound production with somatic and intuitive practices, helping you develop control, confidence, and creative flow.

Each session is tailored to where you are in your journey and your relationship with your voice.

I offer lessons in Durango, Colorado and online.

Whether you’re singing your first note, have been singing for 10 years, or writing your first song, you are welcome here.

What to expect

  • We will cover the fundamental building blocks of how our bodies produce sound. Understanding vocal anatomy will help you sing more efficiently and gain more control over your voice.

    I focus on vocal health at the vocal cord level, helping you understand exactly what’s happening in your body when your voice feels right—or when it doesn’t."

  • Within our voices, there are endless ways to color and shape sound. For our lessons, you can expect to learn a variety of vocal techniques to give you complete freedom and control of the sound you are producing.

  • So much of our sound and voice is impacted by confidence. We will work on developing trust in your voice so that you can start to share your unique voice with the wider world.

  • The work doesn’t end at the end of the session. Expect weekly lesson plans that include exercises and prompts to tend to your voice on your own time.

  • Songwriting is an intuitive, creative channel to process complex emotions and make sense of our world.

    Everyone has the ability to write a song, and we all carry a Song within us. In our work together, we’ll explore techniques to uncover your unique Song and nurture a lasting relationship with your inner songwriter.

  • My goal isn’t to keep you in lessons indefinitely. I’m here to guide you toward independence—equipping you with the tools and methods to confidently sustain your voice and songwriting practice on your own.

  • Hope M.

    “Singing in front of anyone has always felt super vulnerable to me and Thylan helped me feel so at ease while singing. She gave me just enough pointers to work on each week without feeling overwhelmed.

    When I first started singing, I felt nervous to play in front of just one person…after a few months of vocal lessons with Thylan, I felt confident enough to play an original song in front of a group of people. Thylan has a way of nurturing the tender parts of your voice and challenging you to push outside your comfort zone.

    Finding your voice can be a tender process and Thylan holds that space with such intention and care.

  • Jess B.

    "Thylan is a wonderful space holder and knowledgeable on explaining how our voices work to someone who has very little understanding of using this muscle.

    Her space holding is so helpful if you have any blockages that come to singing and using your voice like they did for me. I felt like I could show up fully and felt celebrated when I met the goals we decided upon together. "

  • Katie W.

    Before I started working with Thylan, I always loved to sing but lacked the confidence to express myself in this way. Through vocal coaching with Thylan, I feel a deeper connection to my own voice. I even started to write my own songs during the time that Thylan and I were working together!

    One of the most powerful aspects of working with Thylan is how she approaches singing as more than just a technical skill—it's a spiritual experience. There are moments when singing feels transcendent, as if my voice is an extension of something much bigger than me.

    Every lesson leaves me feeling inspired and more connected to music. I’m so grateful for her support and expertise.

  • Brian R.

    "Thylan is an absolute gem of a vocal coach. Her fun and encouraging approach has been a total game-changer for me.

    Thylan is helping me build confidence by sharing amazing tools to learn pitch, rhythm, and vocal range. Her detailed notes and customized practice plans are spot-on, making progress feel exciting. Highly recommend Thylan to anyone ready to invest in finding their voice."

  • Shonna J.

    “From the moment I walked into the session, Thylan made me feel comfortable and supported, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere where I felt safe to explore my voice.

    By the end of our first session, I was already amazed at how much progress I’d made. Thylan showed me how to change the pitch of a song so that it fits my vocal range more comfortably. It was eye-opening to realize how much control I have over my own voice, and I left the lesson feeling so much more confident and excited to keep learning.”
