Singer, performer, vocal coach...
but mostly, just Frankie.
Montreal-based, bilingual, and happiest mid-song. Whether you're here to learn, to book, or just to listen, there's a door for you.
Your voice, your journey.
My mission as a vocal coach is to help students of all ages and backgrounds reach their singing goals in an environment that is safe, collaborative, and fun!
I want you to leave my studio feeling empowered to make informed, creative decisions about your voice that feel true to you. Whether you're a complete beginner who's always wanted to sing, a hobbyist looking to grow, or an aspiring performer ready to level up, you belong here. We'll laugh. We'll work hard. And your voice will surprise you.
What I believe in
-
Compassion
I commit to leading with kindness and compassion. I ask that you offer the same compassion to yourself. You won’t get everything right on the first try. We’ll make more progress by approaching our voices with curiosity and care.
-
Curiosity
I commit to staying curious about you, your goals, your voice, and how you learn best. I encourage you to stay curious about how you sing. This curiosity creates a powerful, productive practice and turns frustration into discovery.
-
Challenge
Growth doesn’t happen in comfort zones. I encourage you to take on challenges, not as a test of talent, but as an opportunity to explore what you are truly capable of. And I will cheer you on the whole way!
-
Passion
I live and breathe singing. It’s the thing that lights me up every single day. Let your passion for singing drive you to work hard, reach high, and commit fully to becoming the best musician you can be.
-
Knowledge
I’ve committed to a lifelong journey of learning about the voice. I encourage you to be open, curious, and willing to challenge what you think you know. The more we listen to evidence and stay receptive to new information, the more growth becomes possible.
-
Fun
It’s only worth it if we’re having fun and laughing along the way! When we feel safe, relaxed, and energized, we’re more open to taking risks, trying new things, and coming back for more.

Carrie: The Musical
"Of an enthusiastic and likeable twelve-strong cast, the stand-out, appropriately enough, is the Carrie actor herself, Mary-Francis Kobelt. She conveys Carrie's painful shyness and awkwardness beautifully, then knocks the audience for a six when she launches into her first song, a confident and soaring voice that conveys Carrie's inner power and yearning."
