About Me

Recognized for her strong musicianship and an expressive stage presence, Olivia Siri is an emerging lyric soprano with musical interests spanning from opera and art song to choral music and musical theatre. She feels at home both on and off the stage, with experience as both a seasoned performer and voice and piano teacher. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Olivia has called Southern California home for the past 7 years. She recently earned her Masters of Music in Vocal Performance from California State University, Fullerton’s School of Music under the tutelage of Dr. Joni Prado, graduating with the highest honors. Some of her previous opera roles include 1st Lady (Die Zauberflöte), Miss Wordsworth (Albert Herring), Rima in the West Coast premiere of Elizabeth Greene’s Hajar, and covering Noémie in Massenet’s Cendrillon. As a chorister, Olivia has regularly appeared in major works with Pacific Chorale and Pacific Symphony since 2024 such as Verdi’s Requiem. When she is not performing or teaching, you’ll find her at various music events, binging a TV show, or baking. She also considers herself a Disney adult since she lives 10 minutes away from Disneyland and has been there over 20 times in her life.

How I Teach

As a teacher, Olivia is passionate about helping students find their unique sound by building confidence and creativity through music. She believes that every student should learn classical technique as a foundation, no matter what style they want to sing or play. She works with various ages and abilities (Beginner through Advanced, ages 4 and up), including those with learning and cognitive differences such as Down Syndrome. She incorporates light movement in her lessons due to her strong dance, pilates, and yoga background. While classical music is her specialty, Olivia’s students have delved into pop, rock, and musical theatre repertoire as well. She uses a gentle approach and caters to each student’s needs, emphasizing proper technique, vocal health, and knowledge of music theory while keeping lessons fun and engaging.
