Teacher

Mezzo-soprano Mairin Srygley is a multifaceted interpreter of opera, art song, and contemporary music, known for her sharp musicianship, “palpable sincerity and sizable voice”.

As a singing voice teacher and gender-affirming voice coach, Mairin draws on her voice-SLP clinical training, education experience, and performing artist background to maximize client outcomes. She believes learning to use your voice is possible for everyone. Influenced by Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy, she aims to foster an identity-affirming space using student-led dialogue, collaborative goal-setting, interoception training, primal sounds, motivational counseling, and holistic vocal health coaching.

Of special interest to Mairin is hypermobility, nervous system regulation and myofascial release for performing artists—she draws on her own experiences managing chronic health challenges and performance anxiety, as well as training with her current teacher Dr. Madeline Miskie (Windsong Voice Studio), Ruby Rose Fox (Muscle Music), Christine Schneider (Visceral Voice), Jill Miller (Tune Up Fitness), Walt Fritz (Foundations in Manual Therapy), ECHO Allied Health Professionals, Sarah Wilson (First We Make the Beast Beautiful) and many others.

Mairin has conducted masterclasses and workshops on singing efficiently and sustainably for the Baltimore School for the Arts, the Frederick Chorale, and Charm City Sings. She is the music director and co-clinical educator of Neuro Notes, a choir for people with Parkinson’s Disease and other acquired neurological disorders at the University of Delaware.
