The Heart Behind the Vision
As worship leaders and directors, we are conscious of our perspective on church needs. For example, there is a need for sound engineers in most churches; some may be interested but don't have the education. We have crafted a course on audio engineering to help fulfill the needs for audio engineering education. Perhaps your team has other needs, like the need for instrumental lessons or vocal classes. Perhaps you have great vocalists who want to cultivate a healthy worship culture in your church. Maybe you have teams who want to learn to write fresh music and new songs. If you identify with any of the above, we want to get to know you and offer you any help.
​
The heart behind YPV Music Studios comes from the desire to work with other worshippers and see them succeed and use the unique gifts they possess. We want to aid the church in their good works, reaching the lost with their music and with the heart of worship. We want to help cultivate a healthy culture of worshipping The Lord in the local church and bring education to elevate and encourage local church volunteers to move forward with their unique expression of worship.

Our Team
Denise is the owner and creative director of Your Pure Voice Music Studios. The vision of YPV was set in Denise's heart at a young age with the desire to worship in excellence. After studying under Yale graduates, Denise graduated from Victory Bible College with a focus on worship leadership. She continued her education in music and Theater at Oral Roberts University for a time.
Denise traveled with the Victory Tulsa missions department for several years before moving home to CT, where she met her husband, Ryan.
​
After teaching in the public school system, Denise felt it was time to begin teaching and coaching vocalists. The vocal lessons took off, and she began teaching voice full time. The full vision for YPV Music studios still lives in her heart as it continues to grow.
​
Now Denise works with several church leaders and multiple worshippers to encourage and elevate their unique expressions of worship.
