Billie's songs bring us a wonderful opportunity to learn about singing in the mix voice, as her voice is balanced and she uses the upper registers in her singing.   Each week we will practice professional vocal technique exercises before singing our favorite Billie Eilish songs.  Songs are carefully selected each week based on student interest, level and vocal development as well as to present different learning opportunities and balance in the voice. Class size is kept small to allow for individual attention to ensure that each student is singing with proper coordination of the vocal technique.  We focus not only on 'what' we sing (the notes of the melody in songs) but 'how' we sing, encouraging balance, healthy placement and coordination in the voice.  Students will also learn about posture, proper registration, breath, basic music theory for singers, the use of diphthongs in singing, acting choices for the singer, and singing with an accompaniment track.  
My goal for my students is that they will begin to develop awareness of the technique in their voice, and be able to feel the difference between what works and what doesn’t work, enabling them to eventually become their own teachers, and able to sing freely and confidently in various musical settings.
