"One of the best vocal coaches in Nashville 2019" Expertise.com
Welcome to my site. It's filled with information about singing, harmonizing, performing, singing lessons, and vocal technique. As you wander through the site you'll find free singing tips and some complimentary download tracks from some of my instructional methods.
I'm also a singer-songwriter--please go here for the Susan Anders Music site. My newest album Loop de Loop is available there, along with news about my upcoming album 13 Women.

I've taken a break from working on my next album 13 Women to arrange and produce twelve new songs to add to the Sing Harmonies App--the songs include Seven Bridges Road, Shallow, Sound of Silence, and What a Beautiful Name. They'll be available via in-app purchase mid-summer.
I've been thoroughly enjoying the new releases from Mary Bragg and Scott Ramminger. Mary is a friend who has sung on some of the Sing Harmonies App songs, and Scott is a talented student of mine.
Mary is a top-notch singer whose voice stands out among the many wonderful singers in Nashville, and her new release VIOLETS AS CAMOUFLAGE is filled with beautiful melodies and deep lyrics, as well as excellent Americana-style production.
Scott's new release RISE UP has eight original songs ranging from flat-out blues to jazz standards, all with smart lyrics, soulful vocals, and tasty musicianship from Scott and his band.

A talented young singer who studies with me sent me three questions for a homework assignment. Here are my answers.
I've learned a few new vocal healing methods since The Vocal Recovery Warmup was released, so I just updated the ebook. The 2019 updated ebook will download automatically if you purchase the method. If you purchased the warmup via this site sometime in the past contact me and I'll send you the updated ebook for free.
It's touted as a sometimes miraculous method for helping singers. I've never been to one and I wasn't experiencing vocal problems, but I wanted to find out what happens at a session and if it made a difference in my singing. Here's my report.
Congratulations to my student Ava Preston for winning in two categories in Downbeat Magazine's 2018 Student Music Awards: Vocal Jazz Soloist (Junior High School) and Blues/Pop/Rock Soloist (Junior High School). She got a nice write-up in the magazine, too. That's a pretty great achievement when you're only thirteen! Ava is an extraordinary singer, remember her name.
Expertise.com has once again named me as one of the twelve best vocal coaches in Nashville. Thank you for the recognition, Expertise.com!
I now have an Android version of the Sing Harmonies App available on Google Play. It works just like the iOS version and comes loaded with three harmony songs: Lean On Me, Teach Your Children, and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. All of the 38 additional songs available for the iOS version are also available for the Android version via in-app purchase. Detailed song info is here
