My Musical Education Background
Sheila Gardner
Since age 9, Sheila has been wowing audiences with her strong voice and unique stage presence. She grew up surrounded by great Gospel singers and musicians, developing her skills at a young age to make certain she would have a place in the music world. She has performed in the Cincinnati and Dayton areas for over 25 years.
In her teen years, Sheila was a finalist in the TOP Flight (Teens Offering Praise) Competition for four years in a row. That led to numerous opportunities for performances at The Middletown Hot Air Balloon Festival, Eastwood Park, Americana Amusement Park, and many others. Some performances at The Christian Dinner Theater in Dayton, Ohio were broadcast on the radio station WFCJ, 93.7.
In 1996, Sheila found her talents led her straight to Nashville, performing on the Grand Ole Opry Stage and at The Ryman Auditorium. She also recorded a Country song, My Life Passed Before My Eyes, in October that year. After returning back to Cincinnati, she continued to pursue her love for Christian music and became actively involved in the Music Ministry at Landmark Church. In 1999, she started leading the 1st-3rd Grade Children's Choir at Landmark. She discovered a love for teaching the skills that she had honed and developed over the years, and began teaching Vocal Performance in 2006.
Throughout the years, Sheila has performed at local venues and shared the stage with various artists, such as, Twila Paris, Julie Nickell, Chris Tomlin, Building 429, and others. She continues performing on a regular basis as a soloist and with her student-based group, LOL. She also serves as a guest worship leader for several churches in the area.

Sheila is a great vocal coach. She is friendly and easy going. My son (15) and daughter (12) both take weekly lessons with her. Both of my kids have increased their range and tone and grown their confidence tremendously. My kids do musical theater and Sheila has been an invaluable tool . In the last production the kids did, my son got the lead role as Shrek and my daughter got her first ever solo song role as Dragon! Very exciting for all. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone interested in voice lessons. Sheila, if you read this, we love you!!
