Charlotte Nytzen Doyle, M.M. in Voice
Educated in both music and child psychology, Charlotte feels blessed to be teaching the passion she has for music to a group of people whom she truly cherishes: children.
Her background is that of an international classical singer, performing as a soloist in many countries, including England, Russia, Canada, Austria, Italy, Sweden, Germany and the United States. Recent local performances have included the role of Lauretta in Gianni Schicchi with Golden Gate Opera, as well as several musical theatre concerts in Marin.
Charlotte holds a Master of Music in Vocal Performance and a Performer's Diploma from one of the nation's premier music schools, Indiana University. Obtaining those diplomas required a great deal of training in voice, music, dance, languages, acting and much more.
More important than all that training, however, is her sincere love of children. When clients meet her, they immediately sense the great joy she brings to teaching music to children.
