Hello and welcome to Get Vocal! I’m Ariel—singer, songwriter, and vocal/expressive arts coach. My mission is simple: to help people of all ages find and free their voice. Whether you're looking to express yourself through song, connect more deeply with your inner wisdom, or explore the healing power of voicework, I’m here to guide you on that journey. I believe that every voice has its own unique beauty and strength and I’m passionate about helping you unlock yours in a way that feels true to you.

Ariel has taught me how to find my voice and believe in my singing ability. I have learned so much from her! She is a brilliant vocal coach and a kind and loving guide. She adapts to your needs and stays flexible enough to find exactly how to reach you, wherever you’re at in your vocal journey. She is a joy to work with and an incredible teacher.

Singing with Ariel is sheer joy. I have had a hard few years adjusting to being a widow and singing sessions with Ariel are the “antidote to grief” for me! She is a great teacher!! I am amazed at the ways my voice has improved and at the amount of happiness that has entered my life thanks to Ariel’s coaching

Ariel Thiermann, the vocal and creative coach is captivating, her instruction is illuminating, and most of all, she is inspirational-eliciting self-expression through voice and song. Never have I seen my children flourish the way they have around Ariel. Not only are they budding singer/songwriters, but ultimately, empowered human-beings.

Ariel has a passion and an amazing talent to teach about the voice. The discoveries I have made working with Ariel have taught me that as I discover my voice, I discover myself. Learning to free the voice also necessitates freeing yourself from negative habits and ways of thinking. Ariel fully understands the process and continues to show me the way.
