Being a strong devotee of Vocal Jazz Campagne is involved in the Bay Area scene teaching, performing and presenting Brazilian jazz for over 15 years. She has been on a faculty at Blue Bear School of Music from 2000 to 2010 and taught extensively at SOTA Ruth Asawa School of the Arts, SF Community Music Center & David Stroud's Voice Studio,
Since 2019 Campagne is Vocal Coach at Songbird SF as well as Alto Section Leader at SBCC (Songbird City Choir) and piano chair at monthly Songbird SF Singer Circle events. She also maintains her own private voice studio in San Francisco.
Mentoring aspiring singers of all ages and levels, Campagne is very skilled in Audition preparation for SOTA and other vocal programs. She draws her expertise from Bel Canto Technique as well as world-renown singing method known as Speech Level Singing (SLS). Created by celebrity vocal coach Seth Riggs, this method has been studied and practiced by Stevie Wonder, Natalie Cole, Josh Groban, Ray Charles, Bernadette Peters, and many many other successful singers.
Speech Level Singing is technique based on the knowledge and use of the natural bridges in the voice, allowing singers to vocalize with a connected tone from low to high. Traditional vocal methods are limited to using exclusively chest voice for pop and theater styles or head voice for classical styles. These methods offer no connection between the chest and head voice, limiting singers in range and style. Forcing the chest voice up or the head voice down can also lead to strain and, ultimately, vocal damage.
Benefits of studying with Masha Campagne:
- Expanded range
- Endurance; a voice that lasts hours and hours, night after night
- Improved pitch
- Connected sound; consistency of tone with no apparent breaks
- Greater fluidity and agility throughout one's range
Flexibility to sing wherever the emotion of the song takes you, without range limitation
Reviews:
'Masha - thank you so so much for giving me the ability (and confidence) to sing better than I ever have before. I don't think it's something that I'll ever forget.'
~ Jessica Krane, current student
'I have been taking lessons with Masha for 4 years, and she has helped me develop my voice and singing technique, improve my musicality, and work on my performance skills. My range, tone, and vocal ability continue to improve, and I've developed a whole new repertoire of jazz, standard, and pop songs based on her suggestions for me. She's also helped me apply these techniques to my experience in a rock band and a pop a-cappella group, allowing me to reach new heights without straining or tiring my voice. Masha is a fantastic vocalist and amazing musician, but she remains a friendly, encouraging, and inspiring teacher. Best of all, I continue having fun at my lessons, week after week! I could not recommend her more highly.'

'After I began taking singing lessons/ learning SLS technique I have definitely grown more confident in myself and my voice, all thanks to Masha Campagne. As a teacher, Masha really wants her student to do their best, and does everything to make sure that a student feels comfortable. I love learning from Masha because we pick the songs we work on together and I got to try such a great variety of styles, without just sticking to one of them. Masha really respects her students and she believes that every person can make progress regardless of whether they are starting to take lessons with her having zero experience or whether they've been taking singing lessons for all of their life. Masha loves her work and singing in general and all that energy is truly inspiring, and I am really grateful to be taking lessons from her!'
