Singing Lessons
In my singing lessons with students, I work with them on building fundamental musical skills including breathing techniques, ear training and most importantly - health vocal habits. Beginning students will learn the basics of singing in tune, keeping time while singing, and breath support. Beyond that, I will work on developing resonance, earning how to manipulate the voice in order to achieve the sound we want, and developing a good tone. If the student desires, we can also look at songwriting, song interpretation and how to read sheet music. My musical experience allows my teaching to encompass a variety of genres and styles, including pop, rock, jazz, blues, folk, musical theatre and classical. I will also help my students develop the skills necessary for auditions, recitals and choirs by building performance skills and repertoire.
