You will learn:
How to warm up and cool down the voice
Exercises to develop your technique
Proper breathing and diction
How to use your registers (chest voice, head voice/falsetto, and mixed voice)
How to find music that suits you and will help you grow as a singer
How to make each song your own (instead of imitating another singer’s performance)

Over the course of the lessons, I will also put an emphasis on helping you develop your own personal singing style.

I have been a singer since childhood and have performed in several styles ranging from opera to modern pop. I have extensively studied vocal anatomy and pedagogy, and the emphasis of my degree in Music Education is vocal performance. In my time as a singer, I have performed in several high level ensembles, including the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus.

Homework Offered
The homework will be to practice the exercises we learned and the music we worked on. As a rough guideline, I would recommend you work on the exercises for 10-20 minutes a day for at least 4 days a week, and work on the music itself for about 20 minutes per song for 4 days a week. You should always do a 3-5 minute cool down after any practice session (I will show you how to do this in the first lesson).

*** This will vary based on factors like how difficult your songs are for you or how many exercises I gave you. If you are unsure how much time you should take, ask me at the end of your lesson and I’ll give you some more specific guidelines for the week.
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
