Ballard Music Studio
The New Indianapolis Home Studio is OPEN!
From seasoned professionals to enthusiastic beginners, ranging in age from 7 to over 70, and including a wide array of backgrounds and musical interests, I can truly say that I enjoy working with each and every one of my students! The opportunity to help singers build confidence and vocal skills in pursuit of their personal musical goals is my life’s work, and I love it!
A big shout-out to five singers from my voice studio, four of them college-bound music majors this Fall 2017! Julie will be pursuing a graduate degree in voice at Butler University; Cheyenne will be a voice performance major at Ball State University; Rose will be a voice performance major at Indiana University; Galen will be studying music at Indiana University; and Lyndsea will be competing in the Miss Indiana pageant this summer. I’m beaming with pride for these five talented young singers from my studio! Way to go!!!

BALLARD MUSIC STUDIO offers personalized private training to singers of all ages and levels in two studio locations in Indiana – Muncie and Indianapolis. Dr. Jeffrey D. Ballard, Tenor, has performed extensively in concert, opera, musical theatre and recital in several regions of the U.S. and in Italy. He has taught voice for 30 years and held positions at six university music schools in four regions of the country. Jeff now devotes most of his creative energies to his private students of wide-ranging backgrounds and levels. Current students include ages eight to late seventies, and numerous current and former students are performing and teaching professionally throughout the United States. His students have won various competitive awards, including first place winners at NATS and other competitions. He has adjudicated for state and district ISSMA since 1999. People often ask me: “Can anyone learn to sing?” The short answer is, Yes! That is, if they devote themselves to the process and practice diligently. As with most skill sets, vocal technique that leads to optimal singing can be developed, assuming a healthy voice and a willing student. Everyone can sing – like everyone can drive, or shoot a basketball – but how well is determined by sound technique and dedicated application. My goal is to help people discover and develop their optimal singing voice through a personalized, technique-based, creative, and supportive process.
