Embody your voice
Singing voice lessons & classes in New York City and online
You love to sing. But sometimes it feels like you keep hitting the same wall.
Maybe you:
Went to school and you learned all the things but you feel like there is a missing piece - you might not even be sure what that piece is
Are singing and learning and getting technically better but feel unsure of your voice or are not connecting to your singing in the way you’d like to
Sing and feel nervous in a way that is unhelpful. Or you are okay by yourself but terrified in front of an audition panel.
Know there’s a voice inside you bursting to come out
Have been singing for a while but are struggling to overcome what feels like a block or a plateau and can’t quite figure it out
Are motivated to learn everything you can and are just getting started with voice lessons
Boy, do I hear that. You are not alone!
Incorporating mindfulness just might be the missing piece!
Mindfulness in singing is more than just being aware of your body or being able to “feel” what’s going on in all those tiny muscles around your voice. It also can mean learning and practicing how to be Present-centered & NON-JUDGMENTAL.
Working on your singing and voice in this way can give you more:
Confidence & Resilience
Expression and technique together
Grounding & Feeling calm
Accurately representing yourself
Increased fulfillment and JOY
Sense of your individual and collective purpose
And it can decrease:
Fear of being wrong
Sense of beating yourself up when you practice
Constant comparing to others around you
Feeling in continual competition with the world
Feeling defensive when getting constructive criticism or notes
Welcome! I’m Lindsey Blackhurst
As the founder of Integral Voice Works, I have spent the last fifteen years of full-time teaching experience and over a decade of experience dedicated to studying mindfulness and Social Emotional Learning. I am most inspired by helping people integrate technical voice training with mindfulness practices to help students achieve vocal freedom, and fostering personal growth and authentic self-expression. As a performing soprano based in New York City, singing both opera and musical theatre, I constantly use what I teach and also keep learning and growing deeper in my own practice.
Together, we will weave together the wisdom of mindfulness into artistic and scientifically-based singing practices. You will gain specific tools, clear technique, and independence as a singing artist.
If you have a desire to minimize the internal forces that keep you from being your best self, Integral Voice Works is the place for you.
You get to learn tools to implement and truths about yourself in order to - finally, finally - figure out how to embody your own artistry and trust that you and your voice are enough.
No really, you are enough.
EMPOWERING YOU to expand and explore your full voice in a non-judgmental, curious environment. The mindful singing approach at Integral Voice Works enables you to authentically connect to and express your artistry.

“I have been a student of Lindsey’s and have found her practice to be incredibly eye-opening in ways I had never before experienced as a musician - in terms of technique, repertoire, and performance development, but also personal growth.”
