Hi, I’m Jessica! I’m passionate about teaching. I love each and every one of my students, and it is such a joy to witness them master their craft and develop into phenomenal singers, musicians, and artists.

I offer private lessons in singing, speech therapy, songwriting, piano chords and improvisation, acting, ukulele, and holistic health coaching to support vocal, nervous system, and whole-body wellness.

Each lesson is specially tailored to each student’s unique needs and goals. We spend every second in the studio exploring and developing technique, stylization, artistry, and beauty. Students are not only learning important foundational skills and knowledge, but I also constantly encourage and support creativity and individuality so that we are cultivating strong, confident musicians and artists who embrace their own unique sound and image.

I guide my students through the entire process of writing their own songs. We work with chords, rhythm, song structure, lyrics, and melody, and bring everything together into a demo. Students create lyric and chord sheets, and we organize their work into a polished portfolio.

Each semester, local students have the opportunity to perform in our studio recitals. These events are a wonderful way for artists to shine and share their progress and talents with their families, friends, and the community. Learn more about private lessons here.

Local students also have the opportunity to record music projects in the studio. Whether it is a cover or an original piece, we focus on technique, harmonies, layering, and mixing to create tracks that students and their families can enjoy and cherish for years to come. Check out some of their recordings here.

I am currently based in Southern Utah, but online video lessons are available to students worldwide.

Come join our studio family. I would love to work with you.

Jessica West has been teaching voice, music, and acting for over 12 years. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music and a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from the renowned Southern Virginia University.

She continued her vocal training as a Certified Voice Instructor with the Institute for Vocal Advancement (IVA) and is a member of NATS — the National Association of Teachers of Singing. Her background is rooted in vocal science and pedagogy, with extensive training across multiple respected methodologies, including the Old Italian School of Singing, Seth Riggs’ Speech Level Singing, and the Institute for Vocal Advancement, with additional study informed by techniques and education from Juilliard and the Manhattan School of Music.

Jessica has trained in and teaches a wide range of styles and genres, including musical theatre, contemporary pop, alternative, country, jazz, crooning, yodeling, choral, classical, and opera. She currently writes and composes original music and guides students through the creative and technical process of songwriting.

Jessica is also the founder of The Deep Detox Method™, a holistic wellness framework designed to support vocal health, nervous system regulation, hormonal balance, and whole-body cellular function. This work focuses on addressing the root causes of vocal fatigue, inflammation, tension, and burnout by supporting foundational systems such as hydration, detox pathways, gut health, and nervous system resilience. Through education, structured protocols, and coaching, The Deep Detox Method™ helps singers, speakers, and creatives restore energy, improve vocal consistency, and feel more grounded and regulated in their bodies—complementing vocal training so technique, creativity, and expression can integrate more naturally and sustainably.

As a performer, Jessica has appeared in numerous stage productions across the country, with featured roles including Meg in Little Women, Liesl in The Sound of Music, Wendy in Peter Pan, Billie in Babes in Arms, Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and Beth in Little Women. She has also acted in independent films throughout Southern Utah and at various film festivals.

Through her experience in both stage and film, Jessica brings a deep understanding of auditioning, performance, and the creative industry as a whole, offering students not only technical training, but practical insight into artistic development and professional growth.
