What to expect
Build the foundation of good singing by learning correct posture, breath support, and tension-free voice production.
- Become familiar with the anatomy and workings of the vocal mechanism.
- Develop more advanced technical skills including register blending, placement & resonance, articulation, vocal agility and more.
- Strengthen musicianship skills such as note reading, rhythm, phrasing, harmony, and dynamics.
- Exercise the skills necessary to perform as a soloist, including song interpretation, diction, projection, and stage presence.
- Learn to diagnose and correct vocal faults by recognizing bad habits and designing solutions.
Each lesson begins with a vocal warm up and technique work followed by detailed repertoire and performance coaching. Technical exercises tailored to your voice and progress are designed to help you grow efficiently and healthily. Alongside developing healthy and sustainable singing habits, you will gain the tools to analyze and adjust your voice during your own practice. My approach is to provide you with plenty of hands-on guidance while you develop a thorough understanding of your unique instrument.
Every singer needs individualized instruction, unfortunately, there is no easy formula to train a voice or fix vocal problems. Because there is no single pedagogical approach to help a student become a consummate singer, I use a variety of teaching methods. Foremost, my teaching is influenced by traditional Bel Canto practices and body alignment and somatic practices such as The Alexander Technique. I also draw upon my own PhD research into the psychology and philosophy of the voice and the dynamics of authority and agency that manifest in its use. I strongly believe it is important to understand and address the psychology and physiology of the voice and its relationship with other systems of the body that are essential to good singing: our whole body is our instrument, not just our larynx alone!

scheduling
Students are welcome to schedule lessons at their convenience using my online scheduler. A weekly commitment is not required. A regular routine of at-home practice is still expected of the student for healthy progress. I offer weekly group practice sessions and online resources to help the student maintain a schedule of intentional vocal use with tailored guidance. Practice is essential for progress.
Weekly lessons are ideal for timely results and being held to account for regular practice. If your schedule allows, I highly recommend regular weekly or semi-monthly lessons. I understand that most of our lives are chaotic with irregular schedules and want to find a way to help you sing regardless of the inconsistencies in your daily life. Let’s work together to find a regimen that is right for you and your goals.
