What's In A Lesson?

I provide an enthusiastic, supportive, and confidence building space

Voice

  • Singing lessons start with vocal warm-ups to develop and hone your voice, ease of breath, and muscle coordination. Then we work on the music you choose.
  • Children's voice is 30% vocal exercises to learn about the voice and using it healthfully, 10% ear training and sight-singing, followed by 60% working on songs.

Piano

  • Along with building a firm foundation in note reading  and technique I enhance the lesson with playing by ear, ear training and sight reading music.
  • Through focusing on finger coordination and learning to read music I give students the tools to be well rounded, independent musicians.

Recitals

Recitals give students a practical goal to work towards and an opportunity to perform what they've learned. It is important for students to have a safe encouraging place to perform.

There are at least two opportunities per year for students to prepare for and present at a recital.

Donations on a sliding scale will be asked of all singing students to compensate the accompanist hired for the dress rehearsal and performance.
