Learning Goals
Students will continue to learn a professional vocal technique. We will continue to train the voice each week by practicing vocal technique exercises and how to properly do these exercises. We will continue to practice the musical patterns and vocal technique exercises from our Intro class while taking these exercises higher and adding some more difficult exercises. We will review our singer tools and learn a new singer tool every week. We will apply our vocal technique to carefully selected songs for young singers from the popular, Disney, and Broadway song repertoire. Students will receive individual feedback personally each week to ensure proper production of exercises and song melody. Students will continue to practice using the voice throughout the chest, mix and head voice registers in both exercises and song melody. Students will become more familiar with singing in the different parts of the voice. The focus of this class is on building healthy singing technique as we continue practicing vocal technique exercises, and learn new singer tools each week.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have worked with this professional vocal technique since 1998. I have taught young singers in the NYC metropolitan area since 2012 and have seen their voices develop with freedom throughout the range of the voice. I have observed hours and hours of voice lessons of children Broadway singers in NYC using this technique. I love helping young singers understand their unique voice and sing with confidence.
I also love the online classroom, both as a student having completed a Master Certificate in songwriting with Berklee College of Music's online school and as a teacher, as it creates a rich learning experience for students with its many resources and ability to enable communication with other students.
