Title: Assistant Professor of Voice

Bio: After performing regularly with opera companies and orchestras in the United States and abroad, Professor Lindsey brings a thorough understanding of high-level musicianship, stagecraft, healthy and sustainable vocal technique, and professional singing experience to his students. Throughout his performance career, Professor Lindsey sang many of the most challenging works in the tenor repertoire, including works by Wagner, Strauss, Puccini, Verdi, and Bizet, along with multiple world-premiere performances with major companies in the United States and abroad. He received a BM in Voice Performance from Colorado State University and an MM in Voice Performance from the University of Colorado. His scholarship and research focus on trauma-sensitive pedagogy practices, offering students a safe and encouraging environment to develop resilience, insight, and self-compassion alongside their vocal development. Professor Lindsey holds multiple certifications to teach meditation and mindfulness, and brings aspects of this skillset into his vocal instruction by offering students non-judgmental awareness techniques related to the breath, body, and mental aspects of singing. He approaches vocal technique and performing from a wholistic, human-centered perspective, and partners collaboratively with his students to help them achieve their goals at a pace that is both sustainable and effective over the long-term.
