Nora Maynard
Somerville, MA and Greenfield, MA
Nora Maynard (she/her/hers & they/them/theirs) has been developing a dynamic teaching style since 2009, while simultaneously gaining stage experience around the Boston area and abroad. They have toured both as a singer-songwriter with their project Surefire Cure, as a back-up player for Anaís Azul, and as a soprano soloist with internationally touring social-justice-dialogue choir Voices21C. They earned a MM in Vocal Performance & Pedagogy from Longy School of Music in 2011, and as of 2020 are a Certified YogaVoice Teacher (CYVT). Nora helps their voice students gain body awareness thru multi-modal anatomy lessons, find ease of tone in the upper register, richness in the lower register, and a playful-yet-passionate attitude towards singing. An unofficial motto of Nora's studio is that anything worth doing is worth how funny you look doing it, leading to a healthy dose of laughter in many lessons. In 2015 their private studio blossomed into a teaching collective, the WholeTone Music Academy, which incentivizes its Teaching Artist members to incorporate mind-body work into music education.
