Singing Lessons
|
Experience the joy of having a
stronger, more beautiful and resonant voice. Whatever your age or musical
experience, you can have the deep satisfaction of singing well. Your confidence
will grow along with your voice, as you apply what you learn in exercises and
songs. You are welcome to try a lesson and see how you like it.
I structure the lessons so that
about half is spent developing your voice: strength, agility and a richer sound
are the things that most beginners need. Learning to use your breath is a big
part of that. Then the other half is for songs. I encourage singers to try a
variety of styles, though some kinds of songs are more helpful for your vocal
training than others. We'll record exercises and songs on a cassette tape so you
can practice on your own.
My specialty is building the voice.
But I also enjoy working with individuals and groups to:
- prepare for solo or choir auditions
- add extra polish and style, for the songs
of your ensemble
- help choral groups develop a better sound
- help singers learn tough parts, and make
practice recordings
- learn to sing in tune, if that's a
challenge.
Lessons are 1 hour, 3/4 hour or
1/2 hour, depending on your time, budget and personal goals. Usually I
recommend that you start with a one-hour lesson, in which we can find out
what's happening with your voice and get you started on the basics. After
that, most beginning students will have a 3/4 hour or 1/2 hour lesson per
week.
Private lessons are Tuesday through
Friday

"From
the first lesson my fear dissipated. You were incredibly warm and supportive.
Every lesson since has been the same. I leave each session feeling inspired
and full of joy..."
HELP MAKE IT FUN FOR EVERYONE
Please avoid odours, even
pleasant ones, at lessons, classes, choir and performances. Perfume,
essential oils, hairspray, residual smoke or alcohol, can be troublesome,
especially for those with allergies.
