Here’s a little more about me:
I sang my first solo when I was 4 years old at a small church in rural Minnesota. I’ve sung for weddings, funerals and special events throughout my career. I made appearances throughout Minnesota, singing the National Anthem at venues like the Target Center-and Disney tunes, accompanying bands and orchestras throughout the region. Since relocating to Los Angeles, I’ve been a featured vocalist at renowned LA clubs like The Dresden, Molly Malone’s Irish Pub and Hotel Cafe. I’ve collaborated with several renowned LA-based music producers and musicians in recording a variety of multi-genre cover hits as well as my own original songs. I’ve worked with a number of professionals artists including Linda Perry, a singer songwriter and producer. As a songwriter, I’m an active participant in many professional songwriter groups and a member of the Nashville Songwriters Association International.
As a certified YAMAHA music instructor, I have the latest techniques to accelerate you musically on the piano.
As a former Kindergarten teacher and choir director, I know how to motivate musicians & singers from beginner to advanced to dramatically increase their musical abilities.
My Story
I started studying voice before I could read and began studying piano in grade school which continued through college. I am a classically trained vocalist & pianist with a Bachelors in Music. In addition, I received classical/opera training for 5 years prior to college. As a professional singer songwriter and voice actor, I’m constantly increasing and strengthening my own skills, studying with coaches and instructors in voice, songwriting, and personal development.
Throughout my professional music career, I have learned to develop a laser focus, where I know how to get in the zone. I have the ability to separate my emotions from the job at hand which has allowed me to capture audiences. This is something I love to help singers & keyboardists discover and develop.
Above all, I know that in order to maximize your growth, you need support and encouragement in order to motivate you to grow and accelerate your growth. This is one of the things that distinguishes me as a vocal coach and music instructor.
What Our Clients
Have To Say
Avanti M.
"We first got acquainted with Briana 9 years ago at Yamaha school of Music when she taught my older son who was then 7 yrs of age. She was enthusiastic and inspiring! She allowed for variations and creativity and even allowed the kids to compose their own music, sing along with music or try different tricks with the Piano to explore their horizon! Later, when I needed a private tutor for my younger son....I secretly wished I could have Briana!
Little did I know that my wish would come true with a surprise meeting at Caribou coffee! Indeed, it has been a great journey with Briana! We have had her as a teacher for group lessons and private lessons....both of which have had a different flavor but have been gratifying. What is wonderful about her is that she has the insight as to how to teach a certain child to have the kid be best receptive to the lesson.
She is always polite. She is firm and disciplined, but not intimidating. If a child follows along with the instruction, she is out there to help push them further and maximize their potential as a musician. She puts in great effort in her recitals! The children perform with zest and her own performances are inspiring as well!"

“Briana is a talented musician, performer and teacher. She values & recognizes the unique talent of each student and tailors her lessons to their individual needs to allow them to shine in their own unique way. Briana incorporates her sense of humor during lessons to ensure her students are comfortable, yet always demands a high level of rigor and remains extremely professional.”

“I booked a 12 week online keyboard course with Briana. Her process looks like this...
She teaches you theory, song structure, sight reading over a zoom lesson. You then take what you've learned and practice over the next weeks. You are expected to send videos for accountability (which is really helpful). You are also given the tools to learn on your own. She has great energy and is a fantastic instructor. If you are looking to learn, improve, or brush up on your skills, she is your gal!”
