Suzannah Park
Singer - Teacher - Activist
Welcome!
Life has been a wild ride since Hurricane Helene blasted through our region. I’m rebuilding, recovering, still singing and processing so much fire wood.
Good news is that I have a roof as of mid February and my Wild Asheville Community Choir (WACC) is moving into it’s spring season. Singers of all levels are welcome to join at the top of any new season or any of our workshops or one-off events.
Sadly, I’m not able to offer private sessions yet. I’m still recovering from pneumonia and don’t have my home and studio livable.
Check back soon for more offerings and thanks for visiting.
Warmly, Suzannah

Vocal Life Coaching
Have you ever wanted to speak out in a meeting, or speak up with your family, or at school? Do you want to sing with more confidence and ease and feel more grounded and brave with your music? Have you ever wondered if these are related?
As Joan Baez said, "Music has the power to transform people and situations."
Blending together my love of music and activism with my work as a counselor I've designed this vocal life coaching work. We'll explore and weave together your vocal and life goals and fine tune this work so that your whole being is resonating.
"It has filled my heart with song and joy to study with you. You are an incredible woman and it has been such a pleasure to get to know you and sing with you. I count you as one of the finest educators I’ve ever worked with. You are a treasure!"
- N. Richard
Voice Lessons
Wanting more singing in your life or looking to feel more confident with your voice?
Supporting people to find the ease and joy in making music with their whole being is what I do. Teaching voice is something that I love. I would be honored to work with you and sculpt a path towards your musical goals together.
Workshop Offerings
I offer workshops in person and online
Workshops offer us an opportunity to be in community while pursuing our own growth. We learn both by seeing others bravery and by jumping in ourselves. My workshops focus on raising up each singer and having lots of fun as we expand and grow together through the music.
Song Leader Training
My fellow song leaders! You ask and I listened. This workshop is for you!
Are you leading songs at events, gatherings or around a fire circle? Do you lead a small singing group or are trying to get started?
This workshop is designed to support your leadership and give you more tools and confidence.
Limited to 12 participants, this intimate workshop is designed for hands on learning.
Freeing Your Voice
Limited to 12 participants this powerful and intimate workshop is for singers and those wanting to use their voices in a more dynamic way.
Are you wanting to sing more, speak up, confront where you get pulled to go quiet or just feel more confident?
We focus on the tools needed to move through physical, energetic and emotional blocks. This workshop is designed to support each singer where they are at and give you a road map to vocally and physically move towards your goals.
Harmony Singing
The harmony of notes crashing and swirling together is a wonderful thing to participate with and is something to practice, play and explore.
In this workshop we delve into music making and explore with notes, deep listening, making "mistakes" and doing it again.
This workshop is about the joy of singing and not focused around theory or reading music.
"Suzannah helps students free their voice with more than techniques. She knows that sound comes from the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. She can lovingly support you as you explore these levels. She has done this for me."
