Music is the faith we practice without a temple.
Artist Statement

Toan Nguyen

Tenor – Sopranist • Sacred & Concert Repertoire • Lieder & Contemporary Song

Toan Nguyen is a tenor–sopranist whose artistry lives at the intersection of sound and emotion. His voice—at once brilliant and warm—speaks with equal conviction in the intimacy of a lieder recital and the grandeur of a sacred masterwork.

What defines his singing is not only technical command, but a listening sensitivity that honors the composer’s intention while making each performance feel immediate, alive, and deeply human. Rooted in classical tradition yet guided by curiosity, he moves with ease across centuries—from early music to contemporary song. At the heart of his work is a simple belief: music is conversation.

“Through every phrase, I invite listeners into a dialogue of beauty, vulnerability, and connection.”

Whether shaping a Bach aria or a new commission, Toan seeks the meeting point of text, color, and line—where craft becomes communication.

Teaching & Studio

In lessons, Toan offers a welcoming, tailored, and technique-forward environment where students explore voice or piano with confidence. His teaching draws on professional performance experience and a Kodály-informed approach to musicianship, developing strong aural skills, sight-reading fluency, and expressive clarity.

  • Healthy vocal function: breath, resonance, diction, and alignment
  • Musicianship: solfège/inner hearing, rhythm literacy, score reading
  • Style: baroque phrasing to contemporary tone colors
  • Preparation: auditions, recitals, and collaborative projects

Toan works with all ages and levels—from curious beginners to advanced singers preparing for auditions and recitals. Whether you want to refine technique, build a strong musical foundation, or simply rediscover the joy of making music, the studio meets you where you are and helps you grow with intention.

Here at Music with Me, we explore music in an active, genuine way—listening deeply, practicing thoughtfully, and performing with purpose.

Let’s make music that inspires, challenges, and connects.
