What's included

Homework
1-2 hours per week. There are recorded homework assignments for each lesson. (These are optional but encouraged so that individual feedback can be given). Lessons are uploaded every 2 weeks.
Assessment
Singers submit recorded assignments so that the teacher can provide individual feedback and guide the individual singer. Recorded homework assignments can be posted in the classroom or sent to the teacher directly. Teacher will post written feedback (or video feedback if demonstration is needed) in the classroom or by personal message from the classroom. Homework assignments are optional but encouraged so that individual feedback can be provided to each singer.

Class Experience

This flexible schedule class continues on the material from Intro to Singing Technique for the Young Contemporary Singer Parts 1 and 2 while giving the student flexibility of schedule and the opportunities of the online classroom.  Students will continue to practice professional vocal technique exercises.  We will also use various favorite song melodies each week to train and develop the mix voice.

Lesson materials will be posted in the classroom.  Materials for each lesson will include a video, audio files and song notes for each of three songs.  There is a lot of material in this class so it has been extended into 8 weeks. (See timeline below.)  Links to songs will also be posted in the classroom. Homework assignments will include a recorded assignment  (this can be video recorded right in the classroom using the 'Record' button) and uploaded.   

Class assignments will be due every 2 weeks and timely feedback will be provided.  Each lesson will include three carefully chosen song melodies as we focus on developing and balancing the mix voice. Students will have the choice of which song to work with for their recorded homework assignment.  Songs are chosen to include using all registers of the voice, each lesson there will be one song focusing on head voice register, one song focusing on mix voice register, and one song focusing on chest voice register.      Students will have 2 weeks to work with each lesson.  Every other week students will choose one song to record for their homework.

Profile
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.
