Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 12
Intermediate - Advanced Level
The goal of this course is to help refine vocal qualities, enhance stylistic techniques, deepen sight-reading and ear-training skills, and provide tailored coaching for students who already have a basic understanding of music and singing.  This is not a class for the beginner who does not have the ability to sing on pitch or read basic music rhythm via sheet music. 

*This class is for you if your intermediate to advanced student is:

1.	Interested in learning advanced vocal techniques that apply to the Musical Theater, Classical/Bel Canto, or Jazz Genres (Not pop or rock) 

2.	Seeking placement in a selective choir or theatrical production 

3.	Preparing to study music performance, music education, musical theater, or voice as a possible career path 

4.	Practicing for college placement or scholarship auditions 

5.	Has studied and or performed within the Opera or Classical fields but have been unable to produce the Broadway / Musical Theater or Jazz sounds needed for those genres. 

6.	Has studied and or performed within the Musical Theater / Jazz genres but are unable to achieve the fuller and rounded sounds needed for pre-1965 musicals or classical operas. 

7.	Has developed a strong head and chest voice, but unable to blend and sing through the passaggio / mix / middle via connecting the voice easily. 

8.     Is able to commit to not just the 45 minute live lesson every week, but at least 1-2 hours of time per week to work on assignments given each week.  


*Each lesson will be tailored to the students’ specific goals but will include: 

1.	Teachings on specific techniques related to the style of music being sung 

2.	Exploration of vocal range, natural passaggio, register balance, strengths / weakness with targeted exercises 

3.	Practice with articulation, vocal agility, soft palate placement, and vowel production

4.	Sight-reading/ Ear-training work with sheet music 

5.	Music theory work as needed 

6.	Refining a song or songs so that one can feel confident they are singing with skill 

7.      Performance coaching / audition tips/ vocal care tips 

8.     After-class homework (about an hour+ a week expected in practice before the next meeting)

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Bachelor's Degree in Music from Mount Vernon Nazarene University

I am a certified voice and music teacher with a bachelor's degree in music who has been singing (professionally) for nearly 25 years, and teaching music and voice for over 15 years. 

It all started at the age of 13 when I began training in the Bel Canto method with Louise Savage, the founder of the Fine Arts Association school in Willoughby Ohio.   I studied with her weekly for five full years, during which I recorded 3 CDs and began to sing publicly for several professional and regional events, choirs, and programs.  This was the beginning of my musical career. 

Since that time, I have continued diverse vocal training with multiple amazing vocal coaches, have had the opportunity to sing in several professional choirs, musical theater productions, and special events in multiple states across the US and have earned a Bachelor's degree in music, with a focus in voice. 

In addition to holding a degree music, I have also received the Voice Teacher Certification from New York Vocal Coaching after training 50 hours with renowned founder Justin Stoney. 

I am a Florida certified music teacher and have been teaching music and voice both publicly and privately for over 15 years in addition to performing at a professional level within the state.  I have been asked to sing the National Anthem 3 times at the Tampa Bay Ray's stadium for a MLB game, have been in productions at both Manatee and Sarasota Players Theaters, performed with the Children's Theater of Michigan, was a member of Sarasota's professional Choral Artists for 10 concerts, and in 2021 sang in several Epcot's Candlelight Processional shows at Walt Disney World. 

 In addition to those solo endeavors, my husband and I, known as "The Martin Duo" have sung for restaurants, theaters, weddings, and exclusive community yacht and country club events. We are most well-known for our Musical Theater and Show-tune tribute shows alongside of being popular Christmas Carolers throughout the state. We also work as voice-over artists for Worldbook where we can be heard voicing several characters for children's graphic novel audiobooks. 

Currently I also work as a voice instructor at  one of Nord Angelia's international school campuses.  As a voice instructor I can teach various styles of music and how to manipulate the body to produce differing sounds needed for each genre.  However, I specialize in coaching full voice use for Musical Theater, Jazz, Classical Cross-over, and Classical styles. 

*As a Florida FES-UA/EO and Step Up PEP eligible music elective teacher, my courses are  reimbursable for those seeking to utilize their funds for a state approved music elective*
