Welcome to the Mastering Your Vocals:  Voice Training for All Levels.  This is a flex class in which students improve their vocal skills in a 11-week flex class. Each class includes new vocal techniques and exercises to help students strengthen their voice, and improve their breath control, pitch accuracy, vocal range, and more.  The best thing about this class is that learners can to access and work on the courses at their own pace at a time that is convenient for them. Students are encouraged to review the videos as many times as they need to succesfully understand the new skills taught. 

I am happy to answer questions to make sure your child has the best experience. 

The course is suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced singers.  This is especially helpful for beginners who may be uncomfortable singing in a live class. 

A flex class includes pre-recorded content with the flexibility to work through the content throughout the week.  This course will NOT meet live. 

Each week we will focus on a different skill set.  A practice guide will also be included with details about the content and instructions for their weekly homework. 

Content will be uploaded on Monday no later than 10:00 AM EST.  Assignments will be due by Saturday 10:00 PM EST.  Assignments can be shared in the class so that other students can provide feedback or provided privately to me. Private homework assignments will not be shared with other students.  Students will be encouraged to interact with each other and post only positive feedback. Each assignment submitted will receive a individual feedback from me.  Videos will be approximately 15 - 20 minutes in length
