Voice lessons start with assessing the students natural range and voice type.

All voice lessons include vocal warm-ups, breathing techniques, posture and vocal technique through repertoire that is appropriate for the vocal student.

Voice lessons focus on repertoire that meet your individual goals, including Broadway musicals, pop, folk and contemporary, art songs and classical, opera and more.

Professional performance practice and stagecraft will be addressed in every lesson.

Analysis of text and character behind the music is essential to move from the superficial learning of a song and great emphasis is placed on this 'exploration' in lessons.

Be BRAVE and come for a SING!
