AJ Wester -Stage Director
Lessons and Coachings
What my former students are saying:






“Throughout my vocal journey, AJ Wester has been a constant source of knowledge, wisdom, and encouragement. She believed in me at a young age and provided invaluable education, and after some time away from singing, she helped me find and build up my voice again. She has coached me through several role debuts and recitals, always providing honest, helpful feedback.” -Bethany Brewer, Classical mezzo-soprano
"Having AJ as my voice teacher has been one of the most memorable experiences of my artistic career. I knew I was learning from someone who knew how to train MY voice, and not just process me through a cookie-cutter coaching, but careful, personal vocal development." - Taylah Thomas, Gospel Singer and Dance Inovator
"AJ Wester has taught me technique and musicality thats allowed me to have a deeper connection and understanding of my repertoire. With her teaching, you aren’t simply learning notes on a page, but finding ease and confidence in the music." - Henry Lunn (Alias TwinkTrash), Classical Baritone and Drag Innovator
"AJ has been an incredible guide in helping me refine my audition repertoire and prepare my music with confidence. (Which I have consistently received compliments on in professional and collegiate level workshops and auditions) Her teaching style is deeply intentional, blending technical precision with artistic expression in a way that truly resonates. Most importantly, she has helped me develop healthy, sustainable vocal habits that will serve me throughout my career." - Sarah Bonds, Musical theatre Mezzo-Soprano
“When I first started taking lessons with A.J., I for sure thought I was an Alto - now I’m a legit soprano. She has taught me amazing breathing techniques and ways to free my upper register so now I can sing the rep I couldn’t imagine being able to do in the first place! Given that I’m a visual learner, she has given me visual examples during our warm up so I can understand the technique better. I don’t think my voice would’ve been the same if not for A.J.” - Abby Vicens, Musical Theatre Soprano
"AJ Wester is truly one of the best and most fun vocal coaches I’ve ever worked with! As a versatile vocalist who sings such a wide variety of genres—from musical theatre to regional Mexican music, etc —she has been a huge support in the improvement and growth of my vocal technique, and she always meets me with such expertise, no matter the genre or language!" - Angelina Victoria, Latina pop singer
