The stage should never be where you discover how your voice works.
There are plenty of places to learn music and performance. My job is different: I teach you the living instrument you’re bringing with you. We learn how it works, build confidence in it, test its limits, and find out what it can do.
And unlike a guitar, bass, piano or drums, your instrument is alive. It needs a different level of care, understanding and respect.
PERFORMANCE IS OPTIONAL.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR VOICE ISN’T.
Some of my clients never want to perform. Others absolutely do. When they do, performance becomes part of the work — developing presence, confidence, self-expression and the tools needed to connect with an audience.
WHEN YOU TRUST YOUR VOICE
THAT’S WHEN YOU’RE IN CONTROL OF IT.
DEENA NOROIAN
Private Voice Coach & Rock Choir Director
Deena Noroian is a professional singer and voice coach with more than 40 years of experience as a performer and over 18 years coaching voices.
She founded Sing Bend in 2013 to help people use their voices with more strength, confidence, freedom and joy. She works with everyone from complete beginners and self-described “non-singers” to singer-songwriters, musical theater performers and working vocalists.
Deena’s approach combines a deep understanding of the voice as a living, physical instrument with the equally important emotional and expressive side of using it. The work can include freeing tension, expanding range, building strength and endurance, and developing confidence in a safe, supportive environment.
And for clients who want to take their voice onto a stage, Deena also teaches performance — drawing on decades of professional performing experience to help them understand and develop presence, connection, interpretation and confidence in front of an audience.
Singing is directly connected to human health. Everyone should understand how and why – and then do it with confidence!
NEW CLASS!
Want to Learn How to SCREAM? (Without Wrecking Your Voice) We are excited to offer a NEW vocal class dedicated entirely to SCREAMING—without hurting yourself, your voice, your ears… any of it!! Proper screaming for heavy vocals is tricky business. We’re excited to teach you the ironically delicate art of screaming! If you love the technical side of voice and want to level your screams WAY up, you don’t want to miss this opportunity.
This event was first given to me as a Christmas gift, and I have been coming back ever since for 2 years now. It is fun, love singing as loud as I can and I'm in a great mood for days afterward. It's a gift for your soul……..❤️🙏
I love this so much. I am naturally LOUD and my ENTIRE life I have been told to be smaller and quieter. Which is SO HARD when you are GIFTED with LOUD. This is one of the only places where I am enthusiastically encouraged to be LOUD. Come join us and be liberated! Deena is a divine gift to us all. Godspeed, Deena, Godspeed.
The diaphragm is everything! Deena Kam is a genius, deeply knowledgeable, and refreshingly passionate about teaching us the mechanics of our voice, style, phrasing, everything I have been looking for. Finally! I found the right coach. Go figure, right here in Bend Oregon the jewel of voice is in my backyard.
Deena is THE BEST! Wild, hyper, fun, hilarious, talented, amazing and SO positive and encouraging about getting us to use our voices. I never would have imagined singing in the ways I have since joining rock choir many years ago. This is for everyone! Lots of experience, no experience, shower singer, car singer, just give it a try!
Deena is so patient, thorough, and she tells it like it is. This was exactly the approach I needed for singing lessons. Deema explains both the science at work in our bodies when we sing, and encourages personal expression. I learn so much in every single lesson!
This is such an amazing monthly event .
I do not have a good singing voice at all – but I show up , sing along to all the chosen songs and have the best time ever .
The energy in this room is incredible and I can blend in and sing along until my heart is content.
Deena and her musicians are just fabulous and I leave feeling “ On Top of the World “ .
Thank you so much Deena for your time and effort that you put in to giving us all a wonderful 2 hours once a month .10/10 for sure 👏👍
I can't recommend Deanna and her public rock choir enough! She's a total gem of a human and her community reflects that. If you're looking for community, a space to use your voice or just for fun, you can't go wrong with Deanna!
I’ve had a number of voice coaches over the decades and Deena is by far the best. Deena not only has a deep under understanding and knowledge of anatomy and mechanics of singing, but she also helps develop one’s confidence to pursue avenues of singing that Once seemed only a distant dream . I have loved working with Deena and highly recommend her!
I’ve been taking weekly lessons with Deena for the past two years. Deena is an amazing teacher and is so passionate about singing. She believes that everyone can sing and that it’s really good for you. Turns out she’s right!
Singing can be really hard when you’re learning. It’s a mix of physical ability and emotionally connecting with the music. Deena encourages hard work and is so supportive of the emotional aspect. Her studio is a safe space and she encourages students to take chances. There’s no judgement if you struggle and Deena will pick you up and encourage you to try again.
I have made such a leap in ability and confidence in that time. It’s life changing confidence. I sing at the Public Rock Choir she organizes. With Deena’s help I sang the national anthem at a Bend Elks game and I auditioned for a musical.
It’s also not just singing. Deena is an inspiration. She encourages me to sing music I’ve written, she’s inspired my musicianship, and helped elevate my performance skills.
Thank you Deena! You are a musical mentor and you inspire me to sing and strive to improve.
I was gifted voice lessons with Deena from my family, something I didn’t know I wanted but definitely knew I needed. I’m a professional musician with 30 years experience, but vocals have always been the thing I’m least confident in. I have so much baggage and related fears with my voice, even though I’ve sang for thousands of people across the world. I’ve felt stuck in this space for years now.
Immediately during the first lesson, I felt totally seen and at ease with Deena. She’s present, kind, expressive, and knows how to disarm a room with her approach to her students. She has a strong emphasis on how to unlock our fears, misconceptions, and self-limitations to using our voice. She’s unassuming but direct. As she says, her space is a place to sing bad and not have any pressure (this is contrary to my strict music educational training, but a great relief). Deena is as much a life coach as she is a vocal coach because she’s in the business of helping people find their confidence in their inner and outer voice and helps you break through the barriers to using it.
I’ve only had two lessons with her so far, but I already feel like she’s a life long friend and vocal mentor. My life has literally already changed for the better and I’m doing less slouching inwardly when it comes to my voice. I will be sending many her way!
