Meet Dr. Brenda Lang

Dr. Lang has been teaching voice for over 30 years with the past 29 years as a faculty member at Cincinnati Christian University where she was the lead voice instructor. She also taught beginning music theory, voice class, voice studio, vocal pedagogy, advanced choral conducting, and directed their 40 voice Concert Choir and 25 voice acapella group, Resonate. As part of her teaching responsibilities, she also produced the annual sold-out Christmas Dinner Theater and other theater productions including Fiddler on the Roof and Music Man. Dr. Lang travelled throughout the United States with Concert Choir and twice to Brazil where they performed over 15 concerts during each tour. Although the majority of Dr. Lang’s students have been college-age, she has taught all age groups from middle school through senior adults in her private studio. The vocal styles she teaches range from classical to musical theater, gospel to Contemporary Christian Music, and popular music. Dr. Lang completed her Doctorate of Musical Arts at the University of Cincinnati-College Conservatory of Music where she studied voice with Mary Henderson-Stucky.

Dr. Lang greatly enjoys working with each individual student to help them develop and reach their vocal potential. Her intent is to develop smart singers who understand the mechanics of the voice and are able to maintain a long-term, healthy approach to singing. Over the 30 years of teaching at the collegiate level, she has been able to hone her teaching skills, accomplishing significant progress with each voice in a short amount of time while striving to teach the student the “whys” along with the “hows.” Dr. Lang loves working with every student and enjoys assisting them as they find their voice, develop their musicianship, and accomplish their personal goals. Her teaching is simple and easy to understand and displays the passion she has for the voice and love for her students.
