About Me

Devyn Kerr is a rising coloratura soprano from a small town, cultivating joy through performance and education. She holds a Master in Music from the prestigious Longy School of Music of Bard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Franklin College in Franklin, Indiana, where she now holds the position of Lecturer of Music teaching voice.
 

Devyn’s passion and expertise for performance continually grows with each opportunity she reaps. Most recently, Devyn performed as the lead roll of Jenny in Longy's production of Ned Rorem's Three Sisters who are not Sisters. She has also appeared as La Fée in Longy's production of Massenet's Cendrillon as well as chorus of Rachel Portman's The Little Prince, also produced by Longy. Devyn has performed in numerous solo and choral concerts and received second place for classical and third place musical theater repertoire at the National Association of Teaching Singing competition in Indiana in 2022. She has also done professional vocal work with Churches in Boston and Indianapolis over the years.
 

An experienced and eager educator, Devyn has taught many students of varying ages, experiences, and genres. Before being hired by Franklin College to teach voice, she taught with Amy Dancz Voice and music studio in Boston. Devyn takes an empathetic and technical approach to teaching voice, prioritizing fun! She believes in order for a student to find technique that works for their unique goals and voice, they must be comfortable enough to make sounds they may not like. Devyn helps students explore their voice in first creating a safe space to experiment followed by using her knowledge of efficient vocal production to form well informed and joyful singers! Devyn also maintains a private vocal studio that is currently accepting new students! 

When she isn’t practicing or teaching, Devyn is very active outside of her musical life. She is an advocate for staying physically active, being an avid lifter and a Franklin College Women's Lacrosse Alum. She loves coffee (drinking and learning about it), crocheting, reading, and baking treats for her friends and family. Devyn also spends much of her time hanging out with her cat, Momo.
