Voice Lessons: Ages 8 to Adult
Vocal coaching is available to all interested singers--from 'not yet' singers to accomplished performers who wish to study Contemporary Commercial Music (pop, blues, jazz, rock, folk, gospel, metal, etc.) and Musical Theatre.
Initial Vocal Assessment:
As it is important to ensure a good match between student and teacher, the first lesson consists of a vocal assessment
and goal-setting as a pre-requisite for enrollment as a student.
Weekly Vocal Coaching and Instruction:
Weekly lessons are typically 45 minutes in length (this can vary with age and interest), and consist of:
>Vocal Technique Exercises designed to support the voice and the development of good technique;
>Practicing & Polishing Songs to incorporate technique, and build a repertoire for auditions, studio concerts, gigs, studio recording and other singing opportunities.
>Performance Preparation to enhance your performances and grab your audience-heart and soul! Dramatic interpretation, basic stagecraft and how to 'sell your song'.
>Support & Learning related to other aspects of music, i.e. theory (scales, triads, intervals) sight-singing (reading music), self-promotion tips and tricks (promo packs, networking, etc).
Beginning Piano Instruction-ages 8-adult
