Coaching emphases are dependent on each individual's needs & range from:

What our Teachers Say
"I just finished MiM's 6 Week Teacher Training Program and I have to say, it was a real eye-opening experience.
To see how Jillian has implemented using Meisner’s foundational work…it was wonderful to see how, the moment before someone was starting to sing, they lead into their song with such a full, rich life, it was really great to watch. Everybody who signs up for this program is very, very fortunate.”
-Jodi Stevens
"I am so glad I did the Meisner in Music Teacher Training.
Not only have I learned so much from observing Jillian teach her technique, but Jillian also worked with me one on one to help me figure out my own unique style of teaching, pinpointed with me what my goals as an artist and entrepreneur would be, and, most of all, became such a supportive mentor and friend to me. If you're a person who is looking to start their own business, Jillian is an incredible resource! I am so grateful for my time with her and MiM."
-Allie Tamburello
"In all of my class observations throughout the 6 Weeks of Teacher Training, the most common theme was the power of simple, truthful work.
This is Meisner to me. I left Teacher Training with a passion for everything Meisner has to offer voice students, especially the concept that ‘the truth of ourselves is the root of our acting.’ I can’t wait to see where this training leads me in my professional life as a teacher and singer.”
