Vocal Lessons 2009/2010
My approach to teaching includes providing education about basic techniques of vocal skills while focusing on utilizings one's voice in a safe manner,finding a healthy balance between a student's high and low voice by applying the proper technique in breath support. I also provide coaching in performance during instructional lessons which would include the use of microphone and visual performance skills. My goal is to create a well-rounded performer. Each student will not only develop their voice but also they will be provided tips on connecting with their audience through facial expressions and body language.
As a part of my curriculum, my students take part with the non-profit organization, Voices in Time which allows my students the opportunity to maintain their vocal skills during non-lesson months which would include July, August, and December. During these months my students and I, act as volunteers, as we take the traveling kids troupe on the road utilizing their skills and the songs that they have learned during their instructional months, while allowing them to give back to the community, using their vocal talents. These musical experiences help develope my students confidence, personality, communication/interpersonal skills and self-esteem on and off the stage.
Private/Semi Private Vocal Lessons
:Private and Semi Private Lessons are provided weekly on a half hour basis from September-June. There are NO Formal Lessons provided during July and August. During this season Voices in Time performance venue is in place.
Students must be atleast 8 years old to start semi-private-private lessons. Prior to this age, students may be enrolled in the Music Minors classes.
Each student receives 3-5 private-semi-private lessons monthly depending on how many weeks are in a month. Lesson cost is based on a monthly tution which must be paid at the beginning of each month.
During Private-Semi/Private Lessons, students work on the following areas of technique; posture, ear training, vocal scales, breath support/control, phrasing, diction, while also learning presentation and microphone skills. Lessons will also include applying simple choreography to solo songs.
My main objective as a Coach/Vocal Instructor is to focus on teaching my students to take care of their voice and ensure that they protect their vocal intsrument.
During vocal lessons, students may record lessons with a musical CD in my mini recording studio to utilize as as a reference tool during their seasonal instruction.

Lesson enrollment takes place in January and September of each year.
