Andrea Leonard is a Twin Cities-based singer, songwriter, performer, and multi-instrumentalist. They graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth in 2018, where they studied Music and Theater with an emphasis in singing and acting. Throughout their years at UMD, they studied various styles of singing including classical, musical theater, choral, jazz style, and performance skills like acting, movement, and improvisation technique for the stage. In her junior year, she placed first at the 2016 Minnesota NATS competition in the Music Theater Women Division.
Andrea has sung and/or played violin for various projects including her band, Delicate Friend, as well as Emily Haavik, Symbioscia, Twin Cities Songwriter Rounds, Lyric Opera of the North, and Duluth Playhouse. She is a believer in continued education; she recently received a voice teaching certification from Maddie Tarbox Voice Studios. She also loves to take classes and attend workshops when she can.
As a teacher, Andrea caters lessons to each student, focusing on the genres they are excited about and teaching the technique required for each style. An avid believer in evidence-based voice teaching, she also believes it’s important for singing students to learn basic vocal anatomy. (Just like it’s important to know about the set-up of your guitar, violin, piano, etc) Most of all, they believe in fun, trying new things, and encouragement in their lessons!
