What's included
4 live meetings
2 in-class hoursHomework
1-2 hours per week. After each lesson there will be a lesson summary with detailed feedback and an assignment. Often there will be specific exercises given to practice that they can do accapella, in addition to video links sent with vocal exercises for them to sing along with. Sometimes I will ask them to watch video lessons on specific vocal functions that other professional music educators have made if I feel it pertains to a specific skill they are working on. How much time they practice per week is a personal family decision, though I recommend at least 15 minutes a day in-between classes, or 30 minutes every other day etc... The more a student rehearses specifics mentioned in class, (both live and through posts), the quicker their musical abilities will grow. I am also always able to give more homework to those who request it.Assessment
My notes will highlight areas that are going well, and others that still need some work. These are informal assessments in the form of encouraging feedback.Class Experience

Welcome and thank you for your interest in private voice lessons. Whether your singer is a beginning just starting out, or has been training with other professionals for years, my desire is to help them meet their personal musical goals while discovering more about their own unique voice. As a certified voice teacher and performer, I focus on teaching students a variety of techniques and skills that apply to several different singing styles. As a vocal coach, I predominately guide those seeking improved vocal skills in the Musical Theater, Jazz, Classical, and crossover pop genres. When booking please choose one option from below: Option A: My student has a specific song or songs, that they would like to practice for this course. (If this option is chosen, please upload the sheet music to their song(s) before the first lesson). Option B: My student would like guidance on songs that best fit their current range, abilities, personal style, and musical goals. (If this option is chosen I will determine the information needed and make suggestions in the first lesson and have some sheet music that I can share if needed). *Make-Up Lessons* If at the time of booking you know that one class would need to be missed or rescheduled, please write me and let me know. If I can accommodate another time I will adjust the class schedule to reflect one class being at a different day/ time due to a needed absence. If a true emergency occurs I will do my best to accommodate another lessons. However if I log in and hear not communication from student or student's family after 10 minutes of waiting, I will log out and a make up lesson will not be guaranteed. **Devices To Use* Students need to be at a computer desktop, laptop, or stationary iPad to take this course. I cannot properly teach students who log in on a phone as we would not be able to utilize sheet music, powerpoint slides, or the best audio settings via a phone. ****Voice Lesson Environment* It is vital to have a space where students can hear, have good internet connection, and not feel insecure or embarrassed while singing out. A quiet space where they can sit or stand in a relaxed manner will improve their learning experience greatly. I will NOT teach students in a noisy public environment - no exceptions. If a student logs in moving around and holding their iPad while: in the car, on a train, on a boat, in a shopping center, at a party etc...I will let them know they need to be in a proper environment for lessons and if that cannot happen within the first ten minutes then we end the lesson and I send virtual homework instead.
Learning Goals

Syllabus
4 Lessons
over 4 WeeksLesson 1:
Voice Lesson Tailored For Student
If this is their first lesson with me, the lesson will determine student abilities and goals and teach vocal terminology, techniques, or exercises that the student has not yet learned (what this is will vary student to student). After lesson one, a student will a detailed summary of what was taught/reviewed will be posted alongside of a homework assignment tailored to their needs and goals. Returning students will jump right into their work. 30 mins online live lesson
Lesson 2:
Voice Lesson Tailored For Student
This lesson will review the prior lesson and homework outcomes before we begin to develop more personalized exercises tailored to your student's needs. If your student chose "Option A" I will listen to them sing it, and began to take notes and provide live feedback. If they chose "Option B" we will began learning a song selection I feel would suite the student best based upon their current range, abilities, and goals. Afterwards, homework will once again be assigned in the online classroom. 30 mins online live lesson
Lesson 3:
Voice Lesson Tailored For Student
This lesson will focus on what is needed specifically to sing their specific song artistically and with skill. We will discuss several music elements within the song, and break the song down piece by piece as it is practiced. ( Some students may also work on two songs if they are doing well and practicing more in-between lessons). Afterwards more specific homework will be assigned. 30 mins online live lesson
Lesson 4:
Voice Lesson Tailored For Student
Students will begin with a new set of more challenging vocal exercises and notes will be taken to see how much improvement has occurred over the four weeks. Then they will apply all that they have practiced live and via homework each week by attempting to perform their song(s) with skill. 30 mins online live lesson

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Bachelor's Degree in Music from Mount Vernon Nazarene University
I am a certified voice and music teacher with a bachelor's degree in music who has been singing (professionally) for nearly 25 years, and teaching music and voice for over 15 years.
It all started at the age of 13 when I began training in the Bel Canto method with Louise Savage, the founder of the Fine Arts Association school in Willoughby Ohio. I studied with her weekly for five full years, during which I recorded 3 CDs and began to sing publicly for several professional and regional events, choirs, and programs. This was the beginning of my musical career.
Since that time, I have continued diverse vocal training with multiple amazing vocal coaches, have had the opportunity to sing in several professional choirs, musical theater productions, and special events in multiple states across the US and have earned a bachelor’s degree in music, with a focus in voice.
In addition to holding a degree music, I have also received the Voice Teacher Certification from New York Vocal Coaching after training 50 hours with renowned founder Justin Stoney.
I am a Florida certified music teacher and have been teaching music and voice both publicly and privately for over 15 years in addition to performing at a professional level within the state. I have been asked to sing the National Anthem 3 times at the Tampa Bay Ray's stadium for a MLB game, have been in productions at both Manatee and Sarasota Players Theaters, performed with the Children's Theater of Michigan, was a member of Sarasota's professional Choral Artists for 10 concerts, and in 2021 sang in several Epcot's Candlelight Processional shows at Walt Disney World.
In addition to those solo endeavors, my husband and I, known as "The Martin Duo" have sung for restaurants, theaters, weddings, and exclusive community yacht and country club events. We are most well-known for our Musical Theater and Show-tune tribute shows alongside of being popular Christmas Carolers throughout the state. We also work as voice-over artists for Worldbook where we can be heard voicing several characters for children's graphic novel audiobooks.
Currently I also work as a voice instructor at one of Nord Angelia's international school campuses. As a voice instructor I can teach various styles of music and how to manipulate the body to produce differing sounds needed for each genre. However, I specialize in coaching full voice use for Musical Theater, Jazz, Classical Cross-over, and Classical styles.
*As a Florida FES-UA/EO and Step Up PEP eligible music elective teacher, my courses are reimbursable for those seeking to utilize their funds for a state approved music elective*
