Biography
Meghan Dibble has been teaching privately for 10 years. She began teaching
during her course work at California State University, East Bay. There she
focused on college aged students who were interested in exploring their singing
voice. Ms. Dibble then attended Northwestern University where she received a
master's degree in Vocal Performance and Literature. During her master's
program, Ms. Dibble specialized in vocal pedagogy. Ms. Dibble worked with a
variety of students between the ages of 7 and 52 in both Chicago and New York
City. While living in San Francisco, she currently teaches voice in her home

Studio Policies
I strongly encourage students to audio record their lessons to refer back
to during the week's practice at home.
All students are asked to obtain their own music books which can range in price
between $7.00-$25.00 or be checked out form the library. Some singing books come
with CD accompaniments which can be used at home for rehearsing.
Please provide at least 24 hour notice when cancelling a scheduled lesson time.
