“My name is Julie, and I hope to guide you towards more comfortable, confident, consistent singing, regardless of genre, voice type, or musical goal.

I enjoy fusing scientific technique with more organic discovery, providing each student with a one-of-a-kind lesson and practice plan to encourage what they do best while improving on their needs.  I believe every person has something unique to communicate, and I want to help each student find their voice — or cultivate their love of music — with confidence and ease. 

I am thankful to share my balanced experiences and skill-set with dedicated, bright, and uniquely talented students from ages 8 and up. I am equally committed to help YOU realize your goals and experience vocal/musical growth and performance stability.”

-Julie

The focus of each individual’s lesson depends on several factors:

• age of student (younger students, on average, only require thirty minutes; adult students usually benefit from a longer lesson time)
• level of ability
• student’s goals (increase range, strengthen vocal production, work on harmonies, learn new and challenging repertoire, prepare a church solo or open mic set or audition, explore a new hobby, combat stage fright, pick up some applicable piano and music theory training, develop deeper appreciation for music, etc.)
• availability

Bottom line: Your lessons are tailored to your needs, wants, and goals. No two students are alike, so no two lessons are, either!

Julie also offers beginning to intermediate piano lessons and private music theory instruction.  You can add one or both of these skill-building activities to your regular voice lessons for enhanced musical training.

If you wish to prepare an upcoming event or audition, Julie is a trusted performance coach and audition specialist and works with many singers “onsite” in recording studios, rehearsal spaces, and concert halls. In addition to audition coaching, Julie also coaches interview technique — come perfect and practice your skills for your next big job opportunity!

Julie is the Founder & Artistic Director of One Ounce Opera,  the Creative Strategist of the Listening on Purpose podcast with Timothy Myers, and was named to the Austin Texas Musicians Advisory Panel in 2022, along with remaining an active and versatile performer.

FMS students have access to Julie’s established relationships with various venues, directors, producers, managers, photographers, bloggers, musicians, and organizations here in Austin and beyond. Students are often recommended for projects and gigs, and are given one-on-one support when seeking new opportunities to perform.

In addition to her private studio, Ms. Fiore spent over a decade volunteering for Kids In a New Groove (now part of Partnerships for Children), a local non-profit organization that provides no-cost music lessons for children in foster care, and was a faculty member at Armstrong Community Music School. She spent four seasons with Austin Opera as their Director of Digital & Audience Experiences.
