Singing Woman
Hi! My name is Victoria Chapman, also known as the Torah Singing Woman! I have taught Scripture Singing, also known as Torah Cantillation, both in the Synagogue, and privately. I have also been a private vocal coach for several years. Teaching online is a new adventure that I hope will reach out to some of those who cannot reach me.

Why Choose ME
Tailored Options For Every Young Lady or Woman!
I have worked with women of many different ages and musical levels, and am very flexible. My voice is also very flexible, and I can sing with lower and higher singers. I also have some very useful materials to help with different personality types and budgets. Whether you are an I-need-all-the-help-I-can-get type, or a just-get-me-started type or anything inbetween, I will do my best to make you comfortable.

Why we do certain things the way we do them, and why there are certain things I emphasize on this site.
Music Reading
You may even get a little taste of music reading, if interested! You may even learn to sing a scale or two while we are at it! Some of my piano playing students have been helped greatly by this option, because they are not used to singing without the piano, and this makes them much more comfortable.
