Ethan Thompson

Songwriting, production, Creativity coaching, voice

After years of working in musicals, operas, films, ads, record deals, tours, bands, and countless songwriting/production sessions, I’ve learned that everyone’s passion looks different. My role as a mentor would be to provide basic structure while nurturing individuality. Guiding students to develop their own taste and discover what they truly connect with. Not only showing them techniques of what has worked for creatives before them but leading them to the fire of their own creative energy. The tools we all learn here at the school are simply a buffet to choose from. The real goal is building confidence in their own sonic and creative choices.

"I wanted to give a big shout-out to Ethan, who provided me 4 voice lessons. I've never taken any lessons before. He was very helpful and a lot of fun to work with. He put me at ease and helped me with breathing techniques, voice control, projection, and he built my confidence. He allowed me to choose songs I wanted to work on. I would highly recommend him. I'm 70, and he was a great fit for me and is a great asset to your program!" - Liz McPherson, NVMS Student
