Feel more comfortable and enjoy expressing yourself with your singing voice! In this class, you’ll receive warm, supportive guidance, building camaraderie with fellow students and the teacher as we begin with a solid foundation in technique and then apply those basic ideas in guided group singing of classic songs. Topics covered include fundamentals of posture and breathing, vowels and consonants, resonance and tone, as well as basic principles of singing a song. We’ll craft an opening warm-up with exercises that will begin the development of your voice and then have fun using the skills we cover to sing songs.
There cannot be enough said about the importance of singing with proper vocal technique. Our vocal instructors will teach you the proper technique of singing and how to use your singing and speaking voice in a healthy and natural way. Voice lessons will teach you the proper breath support needed to optimize vocal potential in a way that will not damage your vocal folds. There are so many singers who try to affect their voice in order to mimic other singers and performers. This often causes serious damage to vocal chords particularly when the singer they were trying to copy wasn't singing correctly to begin with. We have several things that you will find make our voice lessons unique.
There is not a more powerful tool in building confidence than overcoming the fear of public performance and public speaking. Vocal lessons teach students to control and train their body to relax while performing. Anxiety and performance-induced stress often translates into bad vocal performances. Many singers find themselves great singers in smaller, informal settings - in the recording studio or even the shower - and often find it challenging or impossible to reproduce the same quality performance in front of a larger audience. Our teachers will teach you how to overcome this fear and to release your inner confidence and full musical potential.
We also offer the option for students to take piano lessons in addition to their voice lessons. Students will find this useful because basic piano skills will enable them to accompany themselves while playing as well as with music theory and songwriting. Younger students will also find the piano lesson addition to be very valuable. Advanced vocal technique can't fully be addressed and taught unless the voice has matured so the technical portion of the lesson in younger children is limited. By learning to play an instrument simultaneously students get the opportunity to development musicianship and musical understanding in tandem with their vocal training. Besides, all of the modern observations about the benefits of learning music have been observed on those who were playing an instrument and reading notes....and who wouldn't want that for their child?

Intermediate Vocal Lessons are perfect for the singer who isn’t new to singing, but isn’t a master just yet! It is common that when most singers get their first glimpse of vocal achievement they want to see more, and continuing to train yourself plays a huge part in making routine vocal. It’s very important, as vocalists, that we stay on top of our voice and what we need to do to keep it strong and growing! It is very discouraging to feel like you’ve hit a plateau in your voice and your improvement, We will never let you forget that it will only get better for you if you give your voice the attention it needs.
Advanced Voice Lessons are the most challenging lesson package we offer.
These lessons are designed to help seasoned professionals maintain their expert level skills and sing like a star. This will also help with deepening tone. They help to maintain your breath while under pressure and during physical activity such as dancing in a performance setting.
Advanced Singing Lessons have been taken by esteemed musicians and help our students prepare for auditions beyond college. These lessons will also assist in perfecting stage presence and harnessing your unique musical style.

1. We are not interested in changing your “sound”. Every singer has a unique sound. We want to help you discover your entire voice, develop it and learn to care for it.
2. Make a commitment. If you want to see results, you need to commit to lessons for at least 6 months. Taking only a couple of lessons with any teacher will leave you confused and frustrated. Change and improvement take time. There are no shortcuts. (What benefit would going to 3 yoga classes be? Would your body change in only 3 sessions?)
3. Perform. Have an outlet to use and hone your new skills. Join a choir, sing at church or perform karaoke with friends. Without performance related goals you have absolutely no reason to practice. Your progress will be slow and you will soon quit lessons.
4. Technique is never perfected. Ever. Even for professional vocalists. There will always be small corrections to make which help you sing and perform better. Explore your sound and your vocal ability with an open mind.
5. You want correction (See #4) Correction does not mean you are a bad singer. If you are serious about being a great singer, you want your voice teacher to offer as much correction as possible. Do not leave your lesson without something new and challenging to work on. Explore your sound and your vocal ability with an open mind.
6. We need to hear mistakes. The notes you can’t sing very well. The exercises that you struggle with. When we can identify the weaknesses, we can work on them effectively.
7. You need to sing out without hesitation. We need to hear all of your voice. This includes the bad notes and sounds that make you uncomfortable. When you can sing out without fearing mistakes, your vocal lessons will get interesting (and effective.)
8. Challenge yourself. Singing only songs you like is fun in the beginning. Try singing something completely out of your comfort zone. That is how you grow, improve and learn.
9. Make Peace with Your Voice. If you honestly “Hate the sound of your voice…”, don’t bother with lessons. We won’t be able to help you. (See #4, #5, #6, #7)
10. We want to work with you – not against you. Trust that we are trying to help you as best we know how. Are you willing to work with us? Will you listen to us and apply the suggestions we are offering? Are you ready for singing lessons?
