袁祯，女高音歌唱家，声乐副教授（国内高校）。曾在（中国）声乐教科研项目和声乐比赛（包括CCTV青歌赛）中多次获奖，并活跃于声乐表演舞台。作为访问学者在UT Austin 音乐学院与声乐教授David Small 先生两年多的学习交流中，出色完成了多种语言和不同风格的声乐作品的独唱音乐会。除了声乐课程的进修，她还选修了合唱指挥课程等课程。
       这些年袁老师潜心研究儿童声乐，已为奥斯汀社区培训和启蒙了多位活跃的青少年儿童歌手，无论是合唱或独唱，无论在歌歌唱比赛中获奖获或被入选音乐剧主要角色，孩子们在音乐中学会了合作与分享，也在音乐中学会了关爱和祝福。
       袁老师的成人声乐教学很得社区声乐爱好者的赞誉，还应邀为社区艺术团进行声乐培训。
       袁老师的教学曲目非常丰富，儿童声乐课以中文和英文经典歌曲为主，还补充了中文朗诵和主持训练。长城中文学校有现成的舞台，也给了学生得天独厚的表演体验的锻炼环境。课程在每个单元之后都会安排这样的舞台体验和实践。
