About Fain
Most vocal coaches learn how to sing. Fain studied how to teach singing. That distinction matters more than most students realize.
Fain holds a Master of Music in Vocal Pedagogy from Belmont University. That's not a performance degree. That's a specialized, advanced degree in the science and practice of teaching voice. It covers vocal anatomy, physiology, acoustics, and the evidence-based methods for building technique that actually holds up over a career. In a city full of voice teachers, having a Belmont MM in Pedagogy puts Fain in rare company.
Her performance credentials are equally serious. Fain has been performing professionally since 2006, including sharing the stage with Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, and Sarah Brightman with the Well Wishers Vocal Choir, touring as a background vocalist with Sarah Darling, and performing at the Ryman as part of Lee Camp's Tokens Show. She doesn't just teach from a textbook. She teaches from a decade-plus of working at the highest levels of the industry.
What makes Fain's lessons work is how she combines those two sides of her expertise. The pedagogy gives her a deep understanding of what's happening in your voice. The performance career gives her the real-world sense of what it takes to sustain that voice through auditions, tours, sessions, and Sunday mornings. She meets every student where they are and builds technique that feels natural, healthy, and authentically theirs.
"Every voice is unique, and my goal as a teacher is to help each student discover and trust their own."
