Leah Ward has been singing since before she could talk. As a child, she was involved in Children’s Choirs that provided many performance opportunities from a young age. Growing up, she was very involved in private lessons and ensembles involving the piano, cello, and of course, singing. A defining time in her young musical career was her two year involvement with her High School Madrigals. It was at this time that Leah realized she wanted music, and more specifically singing, to be a huge part of her life. She went on to earn a degree in Vocal Performance at Utah State University. Leah was part of both the USU Chamber Singers as well as the USU Opera program. Being part of these groups gave her opportunities for solo performances. After graduating Leah had the opportunity to sing under the direction of Dr. Craig Jessop in the American Festival Chorus based in Logan, Utah. She has sung around the world on stages in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and China. Leah is currently a member of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square which has deepened her understanding and love of the vocal instrument.
Leah specializes in musical genres such as classical, opera, musical theatre, and choral music. She is also proficient in music theory and has taught private voice lessons for 10+ years.
My goal as a voice teacher is to help my students learn about their natural voice, gain better breath support, increase their vocal range, and become more comfortable with performances and auditions. My students are able to try several different genres and I encourage creativity.
