Singing

 

Traditional and contemporary methods are used to help singers develop the natural voice and develop a unique and individual sound and style. Particular attention is paid to issues relating to breath management, free voice production, resonant tone quality and muscular support.

 

Singers refine technique by way of vocal exercises and voice-building song material. Students receive detailed instruction and learn why exercises are valuable and what results may be expected.

 

Speaking Voice

 

Students include celebrities, working voice-over talents, pageant winners and contestants, corporate and public speakers and individuals who want to improve their voices for personal reasons.

Piano / Piano for Singers

Students learn from prescribed graded lesson books. Technique, theory, and performance. 

Singers !  Learn to read the notes (easier than you think it is), play your melody line, understand and interpret chord symbols, learn rhythm, determine what key to sing in, and more. Non-threatening and at your own pace.
