In addition to being on the voice faculty at Emerson, Sabrina Learman runs a private vocal studio. She has given master classes in performance and audition techniques at many colleges and music programs.

Sabrina began her training in acting while spending summers in San Francisco, attending the American Conservatory and Attic Theaters. During her high school years, a fascination with the art of singing took over, leading to degrees in vocal performance from the Eastman School of Music and New England Conservatory. Having taught voice for more than 25 years, Sabrina's enormous passion is undeniable. Her students have been heard and seen in on (and off-) Broadway productions and on international tours; they have been accepted to prestigious, intensive conservatory and summer programs in opera and musical theatre, both nationally and abroad; and they have taken prizes in a myriad of local and national competitions.

Summer teaching, vocal directing, and master classes given include Lyric First Stage, My College Audirtion, Newton Summer Theatre, Fusion Arts Exchange, Hotchkiss Summer Portals Vocal Chamber program, Summer Institute for the Vocal Arts, and New York State Summer School for the Arts. (Former faculty posts: Entrepreneurial Musicianship, New England Conservatory; University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth; Brookline Music School).

Sabrina has enjoyed a career as a soloist with countless New England area chamber groups, choruses and orchestras - touring, championing new works and collaborating with composers. She was a founding member of Chameleon Arts Ensemble of Boston for over 12 years. For over 20 years, she has performed with the prestigious Boston Baroque chorus, with whom she has also recorded and been a soloist.

Sabrina has performed live on WGBH Radio several times and has recorded for Albany Records, the Discovery Channel, Cakewood Records, and the Zamir Chorale. Sabrina's teachers have included Kevin Wilson, Kathleen Kaun, Ruth Falcon, Thomas Paul, Lucy Shelton and Tamara Brooks, with chamber music studies under the tutelage of Jan DeGaetani. She is a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing and Musical Theater Educators' Alliance.
