ABOUT THE TEACHER

Kaylee Read is a mom of two, singer, voice instructor, and founder of the Sing with Kaylee music studio located in Calgary, Alberta. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Alberta and has been involved with various opera programs such as Opera on the Avalon, Opera NUOVA, and the Center for Opera Studies in Italy (COSI). Her love of music was fostered at a young age through musical theatre and choir and has since transformed into a passion for teaching. Kaylee ran a successful private studio in Lethbridge before relocating back to Calgary in 2018. Kaylee now boasts a diverse and exciting studio where she offers private voice lessons to singers of all ages and abilities, summer music camps, and mom/tot music and movement classes in collaboration with Tough Mama Fitness. Members of the studio are active in various music and arts organizations in Calgary, perform at open mic nights, compete in the Calgary Vocal Festival, Calgary Performing Arts Festival, and are working towards RCM Exams. 

Kaylee is currently active in the Calgary music community as a member of the Alberta Registered Music Teachers’ Association (ARMTA) as an student recital convener. She is also a member of the National Association for Teachers of Singing (NATS) and acting as the Southern Alberta social media coordinator. Kaylee has the honor of singing with the Okotoks Alliance Church worship team under the leadership of Pastor Tim Korthius.
