Why JM Abbott Music Offers the Best Voice Training in Cache Valley

When it comes to voice training in Cache Valley, finding instructors with both world-class credentials and a proven teaching method can be challenging. At JM Abbott Music, we’re proud to offer something truly exceptional: doctorate-level expertise combined with a teaching approach that produces real, measurable results for singers of all levels.

Unmatched Credentials in Cache Valley

What sets JM Abbott Music apart starts with our teachers’ impressive educational backgrounds. Dr. Jacquelyn Abbott earned her Doctor of Music in Voice Performance with Distinction from the prestigious Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, also minoring in Music History and Theater. With 17 years of private vocal study, she brings an extraordinary depth of knowledge to every lesson.

Marc Abbott, our Verdi baritone, studied privately with the American Center for Puccini Studies for seven years and currently serves as an associate instructor at Utah State University. Both Marc and Jacquelyn are active professional performers, regularly singing lead roles in major opera productions including Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia and Bizet’s Carmen.

This combination of advanced academic training and active professional performance means our students learn from teachers who don’t just teach singing—they live it every day.

The Cornelius Reid Method: A Scientific Approach to Vocal Training

Many voice teachers rely on subjective descriptions and metaphors. At JM Abbott Music, we use the Cornelius Reid method of vocal training, which treats the vocal folds like the muscles they are. This scientific approach uses targeted exercises to strengthen and increase the flexibility of your voice, resulting in:

• Greater vocal range
• Improved stamina and endurance
• Enhanced vocal tone quality
• Reduced strain and fatigue

We begin by separating and strengthening each vocal register independently, then carefully integrate them as your voice develops. This methodical approach means you can actually feel and measure your progress from lesson to lesson.

What Our Students Are Saying

The proof of exceptional teaching is in the results. Here’s what Cache Valley students have experienced:

“Marc Abbott was my first vocal instructor ever. I cannot recommend him, and Jacquelyn, enough. Not only did I make great progress under his tutelage, but I also found a great love of the art.”

“We have been so pleased with Jacquelyn as our 15-year-old daughter’s singing teacher. As if her credentials weren’t impressive enough, her management of her business is another huge bonus. She is professional, flexible, reasonably priced, and prompt with responses. Working with her is a dream. As for her teaching methods, Jacquelyn is equal parts encouraging, knowledgeable and skilled in the art of singing. My daughter’s voice has taken new heights and she always comes home rejuvenated with her love for singing.”

“Jacquelyn is a wonderful teacher! I am far from a professional singer, and had hit a wall with my previous voice teachers. I feel like I finally had a breakthrough with Jacquelyn—she helped me identify my goals, expand my range, and was excited to work on all the weird music I brought her.”
