Homework
1 hour per week. Students will be expected to practice twice weekly in between lessons, working on the vocal exercises and singing through the music we work on together in our lessons.Class Experience
In this ongoing, weekly individual voice lesson course, the student will learn through a process of deepening their understanding of their instrument through warmups, exercises and songs of our combined choosing. Ideally, the student and myself will meet each week to ensure I am able to direct the students growth and keep them enjoying the singing mindset! I aim to provide an encouraging and safe space for the learner to experiment and expand their vocal horizons, molding them into a versatile and proficient singer. This course is intended for students with significant prior singing and musical experience, whether in individual lessons or in a group setting such as a chorus, or for students who are on the older end of the given age range and wish to dive into more focused voice instruction. This course will offer students who are serious about taking their singing to another level a chance to learn about singing as an art form and detailed skill. If your student is thinking of pursuing singing in a professional sense, or simply is interested in taking a deep dive into the world of singing, this is the course for them!
Learning Goals
The student will, over the course of their study, develop their understanding of their body and its relationship to voice use, refine and improve their sound of ease and production throughout their entire range, and employ their singing skills to sing songs that they both enjoy and find sufficiently challenging! I will work to ensure the students facility in multiple vocal styles and strategies in all parts of the range, as well as working to develop their sense of musicality and expression through voice use.
