Ariel Thiermann, M.A.

I’ve been singing and playing piano since the age of 6. I knew I wanted to be a singer the very first time I stood on the stage. As luck would have it, I grew up touring around the country in a musical family, so early on I got to see the powerful effect that music has to uplift and bring people together.

I began songwriting and singing in an a cappella trio in my teens and soon after pursued a solo career as an artist. Since then, I’ve released 7 albums and performed all over the world. In addition to my artistic work, I’ve been a vocal coach, helping everyone from first-time singers to experienced performers unlock the full potential of their voice. I have a great love for vocal improvisation and circle singing and have been influenced by the rich storytelling traditions of Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. I’m inspired by the soulful vocal artistry of singers such as Eva Cassidy, Nina Simone, Bobby McFerrin, Adele, and Stevie Wonder, to name a few. I gravitate toward dynamic melodies, emotional range and vulnerability. Music has always been my compass, shaping every part of my journey, whether performing, co-writing, recording, or teaching. It’s not just what I do; it’s who I am, and it continues to guide and inspire me every day.

As a vocal coach and songwriter, I’ve come to believe that singing and songwriting are not just artistic expressions—they are also deeply therapeutic. For this reason, I pursued my M.A. in Psychology and created Get Vocal™, a voice-centered approach to healing and self-expression that blends psychology, vocal work, and the creative process.

The journey to discovering your true voice is a deeply personal one. It’s not just about learning technique or hitting the right notes-it’s about unlocking your potential, building confidence, and fostering a deeper connection with yourself. As we uncover our authentic sound, we also tap into a wellspring of creativity that often extends far beyond music. Singing becomes a gateway, not only to self-expression, but to a richer understanding of who we are.

Singin’,
