• About Our School

  • Welcome to Kara Johnstad School Of Voice

  • We are an artist-driven bi-lingual school in Berlin and prioritize what is sacred in self-expression. Our teachers make all the difference. They are international, multilingual, highly qualified and experienced, compassionate, soulful, and with a love for music, people and the beauty of voice.
    Experience the power of voice and music. From singing to songwriting, creative writing, music and mindfulness. Go beyond traditional music and voice studies. We offer professional training for kids, teens and adults of all levels and abilities. Great for singers and non-singers alike..

  • We feature dedicated degree holding teachers and seasoned stage performance pros, regular performance opportunities, and a central location in Berlin-Zehlendorf. We also offer online lessons via video chat to benefit those students that are out of our teaching region, or for current students that are unable to make it to our location for their regularly scheduled private lesson time due to an unforeseen circumstance.

    School Of Voice is a great place to meet people from the international community of Berlin, take part in 360 degree voice programs, learn how to play a musical instrument, and master the ins and outs of (DIY) Artist Development Strategies from seasoned coaches and trusted mentors.

    • We offer you the benefits of bilingualism.

      The ability to speak two or more languages is an essential skill in our modern global village! Bilingualism and the contact with foreign languages in the early years stimulate cognitive growth and the creative processes that all children share. Languages convey the aesthetic and values of cultures. Learning additional languages encourages International Mindedness, appreciation of other cultures and points of view, a fundamental precept of School Of Voice.
    • A thorough musical experience.

      Large, clean studios equipped with quality instruments, sheet music, artist chairs, music stands, dry-erase boards, metronomes, and computers to keep students engaged and motivated.
    • Watch your kids perform!

      We have regular recitals and other performance opportunities open to all students.
    • We value the time needed to get to know each other:

      Give us a try with a discounted first lesson. This is a good opportunity to find the best music school for your child, ask questions and see if the teacher and student are a good match. In addition, our short-term 3 months teaching agreements offer you increased flexibility.
