Singing with health and strength requires:
- Normal speech and hearing, muscle memory, and physical co-ordination
- Regular practice of vocal exercises, as well as songs
- Your listening and memorization skills!
In healthy singing we strive for:
- Strengthening the sound of your voice across it's whole vocal range, aiming for a clear, steady, and beautiful tone
- Connecting the breath to a stable tone by using a deliberate exhale with a tall, balanced body
- Singing in a variety of volumes across the vocal range
I offer Lessons for:
- Advanced, Professional or Pre-Professional Singers - these singers and performers are assisted with refining and improving their chosen vocal style(s) and may request weekly lessons, or short-term training packages. Please contact me for more details.
- Pre-Teen, Teen, or Intermediate Singers - these singers are encouraged cross-train in different styles as appropriate for their voice, age and/or type in weekly lessons. This level of singer is encouraged to "cross-train". That is, study classical, RCM, Music Theatre, various pop styles, or refine and perform original songs. Also, these singer are encouraged to learn musicianship skills for life-long music-making.
- Beginner and Recreational Singers (of all ages!) - these singers learn to sing on pitch, keep a steady tempo, move freely with the music, explore various musical styles, and sing songs which match the singers' age and skill-level.
- Children's Weekly Lessons - typically are for kids age 8 and up. Kid's lessons include age-appropriate vocal skills as well as foundational musicianship skills, which are embedded in a playful and systemized approach to singing. Pre-professional child singers under 8 yrs old are accepted for private study on an individual basis. All children in private study must know how to read.
