Zoe Leger - Singer / Voice Coach/ Music Educator

Author: Israel Ekanem May 4, 2026 Duration: 36:04

Raised and based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Zoe believes in the power of the voice to create community through song, and is constantly learning from her students and colleagues. Zoe holds a full studio of amateur and professional singers, and focuses her teaching on CCM pedagogy.

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 is the director of the Atlantic Contemporary Vocal Institute. Zoe holds current 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 where her roles include private voice instruction, ensemble direction, and lecturing in songwriting, music theory and history. Zoe also has a popular online training program that delivers singing training opportunities at an affordable cost.

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 won and been nominated for East Coast Music Awards and Music Nova Scotia Awards for her solo and collaborative recording projects.
