Private Voice, Piano and Theory Lessons
Live in the Ottawa, Ontario region
and online anywhere!
Born and raised in the Ottawa region, Juno award winning soprano Shannon Mercer finally returns home to open her own private music studio. Recognized for the luminosity and effortless agility of her voice, as well as her commanding stage presence and profound acting ability, she enthusiastically embraces a range of repertoire from early to contemporary music, folk and pop, music theatre and jazz. Shannon has performed and specialized in many genres of the classical idiom including concert and recital engagements throughout North America and Europe all while sustaining an active recording presence, capturing some rarely performed works. Ms. Mercer also takes great pride in passing on her knowledge of singing to the next generation. Her passion for the artform and her talent translates into engaged and inspired students. In 2018 Shannon began teaching in Toronto and moved exclusively online from March 2020 – August 2021 during COVID.
In September 2021, Shannon successfully opened Shannon Mercer Music Studio in the Ottawa area offering lessons in voice, piano and theory both online and in-person. Now entering its fourth year, the studio has a waitlist for new students aged 7 to adults to join in September 2024.
