Whitney Moore is a soulful and versatile vocalist, internationally recognized voice talent, composer, session singer, and holistic vocal instructor.
Raised in a family of professional musicians, Whitney has been working from an early age to develop her vocal skills. She has headlined sold-out music festivals and sung on street corners, with a love for music and performance that makes every show a magical experience.
Whitney’s love for travel and pursuit of fresh sounds has taken her to stages around the globe. She has crooned celtic ballads in Spain’s “Fontana de Oro,” played the 4th of July Festival in Vallejo, California with her jazz trio, belted out the blues in resorts across the Caribbean, led swinging dances with her 12-piece salsa band in the mountains of North Carolina, and even performed an off-the-cuff scat serenade to an audience of monks in Cambodia. Most recently she spent two years in Mexico studying latin music and recording an album of Latin folk now available on iTunes.
Her travels have inspired her original music, which combines a unique mix of Latin rhythms, blues/funk, reggae, and gypsy swing. A fluent Spanish-speaker (and singer!), she seeks to unite the diverse crowds she attracts through the universal language of music. Whitney can currently be found performing and teaching in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Show schedule coming soon. Her new all original album, “Rhythm of a Movement” is due for release in fall 2010.

TESTIMONIALS
"As a performing musician and former dancer, the stage is not unexplored territory for me. But my voice was an instrument I felt unable to master - in fact, singing in public at all made me self-conscious! My first lesson with Whitney put me at ease immediately, my discomfort evaporated with her kind and encouraing wisdom, guidance and humor. Whitney introduced me to my own voice and its possibilities and I'm so grateful - she is a beloved friend and mentor, a rare and precious gift!"
-Kathleen
"Whitney is so grounded and present that I have no shyness to sing in front of her. I've always loved singing, and wanted to sing, but made my voice little so I would not be heard above anyone else. Now I feel confident that with a bit of practice, I can sing along with people without any shame. She gave me the skills and the tips to help me to continue on my own. Next Christmas, if I want to, I can prepare for and go caroling! I feel like Whitney gave my voice to me. She surprised and delighted me when she tuned in to my in-confidence intuitively, and saw exactly what I needed to bring forth. To me, Whitney, you sing like an angel, and you teach like one two. And you know what they say, 'if it sings like and angel, and teaches like and angel, it is an angel.' Thank you so much!"

"I was looking more for a coach to help me to find my own voice and guide me through interpreting a song. I'd studied witrh classical singing teachers and in a choir, all of whom had a very academic approach- all our work was done through sight reading. I got very excited when I saw that I could pick a song I wanted to sing- and that we wouldn't be using sheet music! She walked me through the beginning stage creating an atmosphere of comfort but at the same time demanding that I learn and achieve certain goals such as maintaining rhythm while singing. She encouraged me to stretch out of my comfort zone experimenting with my voice rather than just hitting notes. When I felt the vibration of my voice for the first in my stomach area I had a deep physical reaction, as if a block was moved out of the way. Since that experience I have felt more pleasure in singing more security and freedom with my own voice. I am a trained dancer and being able use my voice with the voice of movement is very exciting. I am very grateful to Whitney for walking me through that beginning process, she is able to create an atmosphere of confidence joy and the necessary discipline needed. Her own voice and skill of interpreting songs makes you to wish to enter that fabulous world of music. Thank you."
