Hi! My name is Briana Lyn.
I give singers and keyboardists cutting-edge techniques to unlock + maximize their creative and musical abilities from the comfort of their own home.
I offer private voice and keyboard coaching for singers, musicians, and songwriters — both online and in-home with a personalized, artist-focused approach.
What dreams do you have?
I help singers, songwriters and musicians make their dreams a REALITY by giving them the right actions to transform into powerful + confident musicians & artists.
Here’s a little more about me:
I sang my first solo at just four years old in a small church in rural Minnesota—and I haven’t stopped since. Over the years, my voice has carried me through weddings, funerals, and special events, and across stages all over the Midwest. From performing the National Anthem at venues like the Target Center to singing Disney classics with orchestras and bands, music has always been my first language.
Now based in Los Angeles, I’ve been a featured vocalist at iconic venues including The Dresden, Molly Malone’s, and Hotel Café. I’ve collaborated with some of LA’s top music producers and session musicians, recording a range of genre-spanning covers and original songs. One of my most inspiring collaborations to date has been working alongside legendary artist and producer Linda Perry.
As an artist and songwriter, I’m currently signed with Tonal Autonomy, a Nashville-based publishing company. I’m passionate about telling stories that matter—whether through live performance, in the studio, or around a writer’s room table. At the heart of it all, I create music to move people—and to remind them they’re not alone.
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 began formal voice training before I could even read and started piano studies in grade school, continuing through college. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Music and am a classically trained vocalist and pianist, with five years of classical and opera training prior to college. As a professional singer-songwriter and voice actor, I’m committed to continual growth—regularly working with top coaches and instructors in voice, songwriting, and personal development to deepen my craft and stay at the top of my game.
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!
