Private Vocal Instruction

Most people learn how to sing through imitation as young children.  Why then would anyone need to invest in voice lessons?  Well, not only can voice lessons help improve vocal technique and musicianship, but they can also boost confidence and improve memory and cognitive function.  

As a classically trained vocalist, I teach voice in a modified classical style.  Classical vocal training includes learning healthy vocal techniques that can be applied to many genres of music.  The techniques learned can be broadly categorized into breathing, posture, intonation, vocal production, diction, and articulation.  Folk and/or classical repertoire is standard, but my voice students also enjoy learning songs that interest them  in other genres such as jazz, broadway, and popular music.*  

I use the Full Voice Workbook Series as well as warm-ups and sol-fa training to help develop note-reading, ear training and sight singing skills in my vocal students. 

*Repertoire varies from student to student and is dependent on the interest and abilities of the student.   Students are assessed on their vocal range and ability before repertoire books are recommended.
