  • "Anna has a sense of joy about her that makes every lesson a positive experience."

    - Eileen

  • "I learned how to enter my higher range with much more ease! Singing high with less straining and more confidence!"

  • "One thing I really love about Anna is that she works with what you bring to the table, never trying to change your stylistic elements as a singer unless for technique reasons. It feels like you are growing into your voice, not forcing someone else’s. "

    —Luisa

  • "Working with Anna is very comfortable and fun! I never felt judged or scared, I was able to do hard things, mess up, try again, and then succeed!"

    —Freya

  • "I’m an older singer with some voice issues and no previous voice training, but she works with me patiently to teach difficult skills that make a real difference. I recommend her highly!"

    -Eileen

  • "I love how intuitively she teaches! She really makes a point to understand the way you learn and approach difficult situations in order to apply her teachings most effectively. "

  • "When I first started with Anna, I did not have a clear understanding of the difference between chest voice and head voice and struggled to produce a chesty belt. Now I can switch between the two registers and manipulate my mix with ease."

    - Samantha

  • "She remembers the nuances of life I share with her, and makes a point to show she cares about me as a person outside of being a singer. She shows up to performances and other events she can manage to fit it, and is so willing to be flexible in order to help her students. Working with her has been an absolute joy!"

Anna loves to work with singers of all levels. She believes in meeting students where they are, helping them master dynamic methods that will bring them toward their vocal goals. Her specialties include Classical technique, musical theatre, contemporary commercial voice, and transforming beginning singers. Anna has thirteen years of experience teaching voice in higher education and is currently an adjunct faculty member at College of Saint Benedict & Saint John’s University. She lives in White Bear Lake with her husband, two sons, and pup.

Anna received a Master of Music from The Boston Conservatory in 2010, studying opera and classical voice performance. She attended the Boston Conservatory at Berklee Vocal Pedagogy Professional Workshop in 2016 and in 2023, she completed levels I-III of the Contemporary and Commercial Music Vocal Pedagogy Institute at Shenandoah Conservatory in Virginia.

Musical America described Ward as “brimming with effortless lyricism.” She has been featured as a soprano with ArtsEmerson at the Paramount in Boston, the New York-based Mark Morris Dance Company, Lorelei Ensemble, Yale Choral Artists, Hartford Symphony Orchestra, Raylynmor Opera of New Hampshire, Juventas New Music Ensemble, and the Boston Chamber Symphony. Ward performed in the 2018 Ireland tour of Gare St. Lazare’s Here All Night and was the soprano soloist for the 2022 premiere of Richard J. Clark’s Te Deum in Paris.
