With a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in music education, Janet began her successful teaching career as a faculty member at Belmont University’s commercial music program where she taught for 11 years. During that time she gained a greater understanding of what a singer really needs to know to be noticed and succeed in this very tough music industry. For that reason, she decided to leave Belmont in 2003 and start her own private studio in the heart of Nashville’s famous Music Row. With the flexibility of her own studio, Janet is free to focus on each individual artist’s needs instead of a rigid formatted approach. No cookie cutter teaching here! Each student has their own specific needs and Janet is a master at quickly identifying those and tackling them head on. For proof of that, just take a look at her client page! Her students are as varied as she is! Country artists like Lady Antebellum and Josh Turner, soulful singer Melinda Doolittle (American Idol), pop and rock artists Jordan Pruitt or Tyler Bryant just to name a few. Her teaching prowess speaks for itself. Janet has worked with numerous labels such as Warner Brothers, Lyric Street, Sony, Hollywood Records, Hi Fi Records, and Big Machine. Her reputation for results has her in demand by labels and management companies throughout the U.S and abroad. She has also been a featured expert on television networks including Fox, NBC, GMC and the United Kingdom’s ITV network. An active performer and studio singer, Janet has performed with artists like Jonny Lang, 3 Doors Down, Selah, Mötley Crüe, Lyle Lovett, and numerous other national and locally successful artists. She currently tours as a background vocalist with the amazing singer, Melinda Doolittle (who is still a student)! Staying involved as a performer helps Janet stay current on what a singer needs to know!
