Ross Hauck holds advanced music degrees from DePaul University and Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. As a young artist, he also trained at Tanglewood, Aspen, Ravinia, and Wolf Trap. Mr. Hauck worked as a professional tenor for two decades with symphonies, ensembles, and opera companies across the country. He toured overseas and was featured on numerous recordings. His solo career specialized in oratorio and early music. A local highlight was being the featured artist for a private party at the home of Bill Gates.

His teaching philosophy is simple—to educate the whole person. The voice never speaks alone. It is connected to the body, mind, heart and soul. Music is a gift to be shared, and the human voice is the greatest instrument of all!

Ross lives in Maple Valley, WA with his wife and four children. He loves hiking, composing, and reading poetry. He has a black belt in dad jokes!
