Meet & Greet
Hey everyone - this is Heidi from tonebase!
I’m the content lead for voice and thrilled that you are here! tonebase voice is more than a library of resources, it’s a community. With that in mind, I want to take this opportunity to get to know you. Please tell me a little bit about yourself.
- Where are you from, and what's your favorite food from there?
- What are you currently working on?
- What are you hoping to get out of this community?
I’ll go first:
- Though I live in Southern California, I am an East Coast girl. Born in the Poconos (Pennsylvania) and lived all over the North East - from Manhattan to Boston. Once I came out to California, I was hooked on the Sunshine and lifestyle and have been in So Cal for decades! My favorite food in my adopted home? With so many cultures converging in Southern California, I have three! First, there is the healthy California fare - the amazing vegetables, fruits and juices are fantastic. You also really can’t go wrong with tacos - I like mine from my local taco stand (Al Pastor, please). Nothing fancy - just delicious. But my absolute favorite has to be Korean Food!! Hot Tofu Soup, Korean BBQ and pretty much anything that comes with kimchee is my go to 😊
- I am the First Soprano for the classical vocal quartet, Seraphour. We just wrapped our second album and are looking forward to more touring next season. I also have a couple of recitals coming up for the 24-25 season and I have an Italy tour at the end of May (conducting that one).
- I hope to get to know each and every one of you and help you achieve your musical goals! Let’s have some fun and get to work!
Now over to you!

Hi All,
I'm Jenny. I am originally from Long Island, NY and currently live in Pasadena, California. My favorite food from Long Island? - Pizza and bagels, of course! From Pasadena? I'm a sucker for a good avocado toast.
What am I currently working on (vocally)? Honestly? Nothing. I haven't taken a voice lesson since October. But!!! I'm excited to start working on the first movement of How to Go On by Dale Trumbore for this Idyllwild retreat!
I'm in the conducting track for this retreat and will also be in the vocal track. For conducting, I'm working on whatever I'm preparing for my choirs to sing. We are on summer break right now after going on tour. I'm looking forward to digging deep into Lauridsen's Sure on the Shining Night and all it has to teach me for this retreat.
As for what I'd like to get out of this community - just to meet more people that I wouldn't find in my little corner of the children's choir world, learn new things from new people and to continue to learn from my mentor, Don Brinegar.

Hi from Croatia, I’m Ana.
My favorite dish from my region is Zagorski štrukli (pastry filled with cheese).
At the moment, I’m working on everything :) because I’m interested in so many things — and that includes returning to singing, since I stopped taking in-person lessons during the pandemic and life somehow pulled me in another direction.
Here, I hope to find everything I need in order to enjoy singing and all the vocal and musical possibilities I’ve been given with this body.
