About Jessica

Hello! My name is Jessica Gu, and I am a classical coloratura soprano living in Annandale, VA. My passion for singing started when I was in middle school and decided to pursue opera in high school! I went to Interlochen Arts Academy for my last two years in high school and then to Eastman School of Music for bachelors, Indiana University for my master’s.

During college, I experienced deep confusion of my vocal technique and experienced deep stage anxiety. After this period, I held the intention to dive deeper into understanding myself, learning how to emotionally regulate, how to love, give gratitude and honor my body, mind, and soul. This is where the journey of deep integration of my entire being started and changed my life forever. I found a vocal teacher who focused on bodywork for the voice, as singing is a whole-body experience. From then on, I collected, explored, deepened into the tools and exercises that helped me physically, mentally, emotionally, and vocally. The direct correlation between a healthy mind, body is intricately connected with the voice and expression.

Now, vocally and physically, I feel the most free I have ever been, so many colors, emotions are readily emanated when I sing. I am deeply passionate in guiding those who are ready to embark on this journey of unlocking your voice and joyfully express your heart’s song!

About the lesson

Hello! My name is Jessica Gu and I am a classical opera singer based in Annandale, VA. I am teaching online and in-person voice lessons for all age ranges and for all levels of singing. My education is Opera Voice Performance BM at Eastman School of Music and MM at Indiana University.

My calling is to merge the act of singing with mindfulness, allowing the mind, body, breath, and soul to merge completely through the medium of the voice. Through my transformative journey as an opera singer, I’ve learned to deeply transmute and work through intense stage anxiety, and unravel chronic body tensions. Now, I feel a freedom of the voice, body, and the soul that I could only dream of when I first started this journey. I would be honored to guide those who are interested in exploring the voice expression that is inextricably linked to the body and the mind through Zoom or in-person lessons.

For Children- starting singing at a young age could be very helpful for their development in ear training, voice control, and building self-esteem. Singing can become a beautiful, fun medium for children to express themselves and explore the unlimited colors and facets of the voice. Singing can also greatly help with confidence and courage. Simple mindfulness exercises can be practiced during lessons to help with calming, regulating emotions, increased focus ability, and overall enjoyment and play through the voice.

For Adults- 
Through the Body: We will work with somatic exercises to allow the body to release stored emotions and tensions. Deeply grounding in our body, and befriending and allowing the tensions to melt away, aiding the body to enter in optimal, easeful alignment.

Through the Mind: We will work through mindfulness exercises that assist in the act of singing, allowing singing to become a medium of deep enjoyment, deep peace, a safe haven of expression. Through these mindfulness exercises that can also be applied to everyday life, focus can be greatly improved in everyday tasks, and in turn, the quality of the everyday actions becomes amplified.

Through the Voice: For those who feel it is hard to express yourself, I feel you, I have walked a similar path. Your voice deserves to be heard, seen, and felt. Your voice deserves to express all the different shades of colors, emotions, and be truly free.

Jessica brought so much light to my singing! It’s been groundbreaking and has given me a totally different perspective. I've been working with her for a year now, and she is extremely attentive, patient, and knowledgeable. One thing I love about her teaching is the incorporation of meditation into singing itself. I’ve even introduced her to my mom and sister, who both benefit a lot from her lessons as well.
