What's included
1 live meeting
30 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
2-4 hours per week. Students are expected to learn songs/exercises and practice them weekly to prepare for the next lesson. The voice is like any instrument, you can memorize all the techniques in the world but they will not improve unless you are physically practicing them.Assessment
Learner progress is assessed in class and Voice Labs.Class Experience
In this course students will learn songs in a variety of different styles as well as vocal and physical techniques in order to improve their voice according to their personal goals. These goals might include preparing for an audition, choral and harmonic training or just general improvement of their voice. There is no required experience for this class. Students will have the opportunity to perform their songs in front of other private students through enrolling in my other course, “Voice Labs” once a month or whenever they are ready to do so. This will give them performance experience and a chance to show others what they have learned. Below is some topics they will be learning and improving on throughout their private lesson. 1. Breath support 2. Vowels and Diction 3. Tongue, Mouth and Body structure 4. Pitch and Overall Tone 5. Song Memorization 6. Artistic Emotion 7. Acting/ Character Creation 8. Vibrato and how to use it 9. Voice Projection 10. Classical-Broadway Style-Jazz-POP-Foriegn (Italian-French-German-Latin)-Arts Songs
Learning Goals
The Learning goals for this class include improvement in breath support, tone, pitch, style, acting and other aspects of a professional singer based upon the students personal goals. For example, lets say a student might want lessons to prepare for a choral audition. In this case, we would choose songs relating to this topic and work on choral techniques that a director will be looking for when auditioning a potential member.
