Kayleigh Bennett joins the Concord Conservatory of Music with a teaching philosophy centered on the belief that anyone—regardless of age, experience, or background—can learn to be a successful singer and artist. For Kayleigh, the voice is the original human instrument that has connected people through generations. She views the voice studio as a collaborative space where students are encouraged to meet difficulties with curiosity and recognize that growth comes from the journey of continuous skill building and improvement.

A scholar and an artist, Kayleigh graduated Summa Cum Laude from Moravian University with bachelor’s degrees in Music Education and Vocal Music Performance. While at Moravian, she completed an honors thesis that involved writing and publishing a book on the operas of Giacomo Puccini. She went on to receive her Master of Music in Vocal Music Performance from the New England Conservatory. In her lessons, she emphasizes healthy and clear vocal production, cross-training through various genres, and helping students understand the language of music both technically and artistically.

Beyond the classroom, Kayleigh is a vibrant performer with a career spanning choral, opera, and musical theater stages. Recent highlights include performing as a professional choral soloist across the East Coast—most notably at Carnegie Hall in a performance of the Rutter Magnificat conducted by John Rutter himself. She recently booked her first professional musical theater role as Lucille in Parade with Lowell House Opera and is regularly contracted with local companies, including Berkshire Opera Festival, Cambridge Chamber Ensemble, Cambridge Cantata Singers, Mount Washington Valley Choral Society, and Tutti Music Collective.

Kayleigh’s work at CCM is driven by the joy of seeing students appreciate their instrument as a tool for communication. To her, witnessing a student unlock a new language of artistic expression is the most fulfilling part of her work. When she isn’t singing or teaching, Kayleigh enjoys boxing, embroidery, and video games.
