Hi, I’m Gabi Ochoa! Welcome to TGVS.

The Gem Vocal Studio was founded in 2016 to create a supportive community of curious singers who love to explore all of the wonders of the voice. My goal always has been and always will be to make singing lessons a place where we can play, make mistakes, and enjoy making music, all while learning a whole lot about how our voices work.

As a teacher, I am committed to a lifetime of learning. I have a Master of Music from The University of Redlands and a Bachelor of Music from Oberlin Conservatory. In 2020 I became certified in Level II of Somatic Voicework™, and I joined the coolest, most innovative group of voice-related business owners in the world: The Speakeasy Cooperative. Between all of my resources and connections to the voice community, I am constantly updating what I know and sharing it with my clients.

Teaching singing is a privilege I don’t take lightly. I am lucky enough to work with all kinds of people who have all kinds of voices! My number one focus as a teacher is meeting each student where they are and providing them with what they need. No two singing lessons will ever be the same!

When I’m not working, you can find me in the kitchen cooking up a storm, enjoying long walks around Redlands, or on the couch watching music videos with my husband Octavio and my cats, Mochi and Mischa.
