Alicia Toft

Because of my background in education, I am a friendly conversationalist with a lot of love for music to share, and I believe that no professional would make an audience or client feel uncomfortable or insignificant. Ask me all kinds of questions!

My repertoire includes soft pop, jazz, some musical theater, and a great deal of classical literature such as masses, arias, classic love songs, soft pop, sacred music, and some instrumental piano music. My favorite pieces are arias; in fact, my specialization is in opera!

I am most comfortable in a black dress, pearls, and heels; all of my performances are classic and elegant. I bring to every performance a powerful stage presence, a cheerful disposition, and a concise knowledge of my own craft and instrument.

I provide voice and beginning piano lessons for students aged 16-elder. I sing at weddings, funerals, community events, dinner events, holiday events, church services, proms, cocktail events, private parties, fundraisers, anniversaries, family reunions, banquets, grand openings, festivals, clubs, and corporate events. Please contact me for more information, or for special requests!

I've studied and performed in such places as Italy, the Estonian States, Carnegie Hall in New York City, and others. My education is in Vocal Performance and Music Education from Millikin University, where I studied with amazing musicians as Guy Forbes, Brad Holmes, and masterclasses with Alan Held. I am currently owner of my own studio, Wright Act Studio, in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois.

Please inform me beforehand if you will require me to find an extra accompanist; I consider this part of my fee.

I will require that the vendor for your event provide equipment for lighting and sound.
