About Lessons

NT Studio is a private voice and performance studio led by professional artists Nicole Leung and Tayte Mitchell, offering integrated training in vocal technique, performance, and dramatic interpretation. At NT Studio, students benefit from a collaborative, shared perspective approach to vocal training. Even when working primarily with one instructor, teaching is shaped through ongoing collaboration and consultation between Nicole and Tayte, giving students the insight and support of two working artists throughout their development.

With combined experience in vocal performance, teaching, and stage direction across Canada and the United States, Nicole and Tayte strive to work with singers of all ages, levels, and backgrounds to build healthy technique, artistic confidence, and meaningful connection through music. Whether you’re looking to prepare for an audition or to feel more confident at karaoke night with your friends, we are here to help you!

Given the vulnerabilities that come with singing, Nicole and Tayte prioritize creating an environment that is encouraging and judgement-free. We currently offer lessons in person in the Greater Calgary Area and worldwide online.

What to Expect and How It Works

Private voice lessons are tailored to fit each individual student’s needs. Unless otherwise requested, they will always adhere to the following structure:

  1. Warm up Exercises and Vocal skill development

  2. Musical Exploration and Preparation

For those seeking deeper character work and are at an intermediate-advanced level, we strongly recommend dramatic coachings offered by Tayte Mitchell. Focus areas include:

  1. Building a Character

  2. Understanding dramatic form and structure

  3. Audition Prep: Physicality and Presence

  4. Advanced interpretation for scene work, arias, art song and contemporary music
