EMPOWERING VOICES.  NURTURING MINDS.  ENHANCING LIVES.

Thank you so much for your interest!  I am currently unable to take any new students at this time due to taking on a new position teaching at UW-Madison.  Don't hesitate to contact me for singing inquiries :)

Welcome!  Voice lessons at the Timman Music studio are tailored to address each individual student’s needs, learning styles, and interests.  Under the direction of Dr. Jessica (Timman) Schwefel, The Timman Music Studio is located at her home in McFarland, WI.  Individual voice lessons are offered for students ages 13-adult.   

​Mission
My mission as your voice teacher is to help you realize and unlock your potential, both as a singer and as a person.    My primary goal is to guide you as you discover your voice,  learning to sing with a healthy, free, and resonant tone.  Singers are unique because their instruments reside in their bodies,  and as a result singing is a whole body experience.  Because of this, it is essential that we strengthen our kinesthetic awareness, by cultivating our mind/body connection.  In fifteen years of teaching private voice, I oftentimes find that as we strengthen the voice, we gain greater insight into our best abilities.     I believe the study of music engages many useful concepts such as creative thinking, problem solving, mindfulness, and more.  Simply put, singing brings out the best in each of us.
