Lori
Moran has been performing and teaching since 1985. She has a special gift for working with children and adolescents,
helping to bring out their own natural musicality and encouraging self-expression. Lori's positive and upbeat approach
makes learning a fun and rewarding experience for her students.
Lori's unusually versatile voice has served her well in her own performance career, which runs the
gamut between musical theatre, choral, opera, oratorio, pop, jazz, cabaret, and big band ~ all of which she brings to
bear in working with her students. Lori helps her students understand and execute the demands of working
as a singer in today's diverse musical environment, which requires performers to wear many hats, understand various
musical genres, and retain solid vocal technique to support a lifetime of healthy singing.
