It is always a tricky task when seeking out instructors in any genre of the arts to provide accurate, proper, and genuine instruction, whether it be for yourself or your child. If you are looking for such an individual when it comes to vocal instruction you need look no further. My daughter has always loved to sing, she has participated in the choir since second grade, as well as church choir. When we moved to Williamsburg, I asked some professional vocalists for a true voice coach/instructor and that is exactly what we found with Mr. Chris Mooney. My daughter has been taking lessons with him now for 3 years and the vocal growth that she has experienced is amazing. He is so very talented, with an incredible professional background and works really well with all of his students, no matter the age! I would definitely recommend Chris Mooney to anyone looking for a vocal coach or just singing lessons in general! He is Wonderful!
After singing with many choirs over the years, I thought it would be interesting to take a lesson or two from my fellow bass at Bruton Parish. Wow, after all these years (and never any instruction), Chris is teaching me how to sing!! The lessons are fun and proof that a good teacher can indeed teach an old dog new tricks.
Chris Mooney is a phenomenal voice instructor. My son has been taking lessons for over 3 years from Mr. Mooney. Mr. Mooney taught my son best practices in breathing and voice control through his soprano years and as his voice changed and through its transitions as he continues to mature. Not only has Mr. Mooney prepared my son to sing the male lead role in his high school musical but has also taught him and my daughter to sing various musical genres through his studio recitals. In addition, Mr. Mooney makes every effort to get to know his students' interests in order to help them feel comfortable singing what they like in front of an audience.
If someone asked for a voice teacher recommendation in williamsburg, I would definitely recommend Chris. He is a great balance of supportive and pushing you to be your best and the growth you find with him is near immediate if you follow through on your behalf.
Chris is a wonderful teacher and a treasure to have in Williamsburg. He has trained my daughter in classical and musical theatre voice, concentrated on singing in an age-appropriate and healthy way to grow and preserve her instrument for her career. He has a knack for explaining how and why sound is made and translating that into musical growth. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you or your child is interested in singing, he's the one to go to.
