MEET THE INSTRUCTORS

  • Michele Thomas (she/her) is a jazz vocalist, songwriter, recording artist, music educator and entrepreneur of over 20 years.  She specialize in a broad range of musical genres—including jazz, gospel, pop, soul, R&B, rock, folk, and blues—and possess a versatile skill set in improvisation, vocal harmony, basic keyboard skills, music theory, sight-singing, ear training, and artist development.

  • Stacy Rene Erenberg (she/her) is an improvisational vocalist, songwriter,  and educator specializing in vocal improv and self expression. From professionals to beginners I welcome anyone who wants to connect with their voice and gain tools for personal expression with healthy technique. Musical and technical exercises are personalized based on each person's  goals. I believe that Singers are healers and historians; that through self expression, connection to spirit, ancestors and each other  can time travel through song.

  • Emmy Bean (she/her) is an experienced vocalist and interdisciplinary artist with roots in the northeast and the midwest. Her work spans theater, experimental performance, improvisation, folk music, classical, and chamber pop and draws from a deep well of devotion, spiritual curiosity, rage, and clownery.

A Fundraiser for The Nest

We are three singers dreaming of a place where music thrives and where singers find support and community together.

The Nest is our dream, and it is our way of being together: through singing, teaching, and improvisation. These practices help us sustain our lives as artists and let us share what we do with others. The Nest is where we plan to host workshops, classes, lessons, practice space, creative work, and artist development as well as programming for children and families.

Join us for a fundraiser concert to help bring our dream closer to reality.

You’ll enjoy the soulful sounds of Michele Thomas, a Latin Jazz duet project by Sonia Oyola, delicious bites by Veronica Tirado, and of course plenty of community singing led by us, The Nest - Emmy Bean, Stacy Rene Erenberg, and Michele Thomas.

Come celebrate with us and help us build a better future together!
