Toan Nguyen is a dynamic tenor - sopranist, soloist, and educator based in New York City NY and San Francisco CA, having performed with the acclaimed San Francisco Symphony Chorus, Zephyr Symphony (formerly Lakeside Symphony). Known for his expressive sound and musical sensitivity, Toan has appeared as a soloist in a wide range of repertoire — from sacred masterworks and early music to contemporary pieces and oratorio. In addition to his vocal career, Toan is an accomplished organist with extensive experience in sacred and liturgical settings. Known for his exceptional sight-reading and sensitive accompaniment, he has served Catholic and Episcopal parishes as both organist and choral leader. His playing balances technical command with a deep understanding of the liturgical tradition, enriching worship through music that is both supportive and expressive.
He is currently pursuing his study in Vocal Performace at The Manhattan School of Music in NYC, specializing in vocal performance, pedagogy, and musicianship, and brings a high level of artistry and academic insight to his teaching. Toan is on staff with the National Children’s Chorus as a Vocal Coach, where he works with young singers to develop healthy technique and musical artistry. A passionate vocal coach, Toan offers one-on-one training in classical voice, audition preparation, and musicianship with a Kodály-informed approach that emphasizes solfege, ear training, and score literacy. His vocal teachers includes American Baritone Nikolas Nackley, and the Renown American Baritone Christòpheren Nomura.
Toan’s students range from young beginners to college-bound vocalists and emerging professionals. Whether preparing for a competition, audition, recital, or just singing for the love of it, his students gain not only technical strength but also musical confidence and interpretive depth.
