Raised and based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Zoe Leger has made a name for herself as one of the top contemporary music educators in Eastern Canada. Zoe believes in the power of the voice to create community through song, and is constantly learning from her students and colleagues.

Zoe has coached professional singers and actors, post-secondary and post-graduate students and other vocal coaches. Zoe holds a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance (Jazz Studies) as well as a Masters of Music (Composition). Zoe holds certificates in Somatic Voicework - The Lovetri Method (Baldwin Wallace University) and Acoustic Vocal Pedagogy (University of Michigan). Zoe uses a holistic approach to teach singing that encourages singers to connect mind, body and voice together to reach their fullest potential as artists. Zoe uses science-informed pedagogy in her teaching that motivates singers to challenge pre-conceived notions about what the human voice is capable of, and what makes a ‘good’ singer.

In addition to her private vocal studio, Zoe has held teaching positions in the music departments of St. Francis Xavier University, The Fountain School of Performing Arts at Dalhousie University, and Nova Scotia Community College.

Zoe is an accomplished jazz and contemporary vocalist and pianist, songwriter and arranger, who has performed across Canada and the United Kingdom as a solo artist as well as in a variety of contemporary ensembles. Zoe has been nominated for East Coast Music Awards and Music Nova Scotia Awards for her solo and collaborative recording projects.

“Singer, songwriter, and pianist, Zoe Leger is by far the top talent of the Atlantic region as voice teacher and vocal coach. Zoe is excellent with coaching students to project confidence, focus on performance, and make song choices that showcase the student's natural talents and abilities … the transformation of students is striking and the confident smiles are heartfelt.”
