This is a one-on-one class primarily structured for growth mindset learners who love to sing and who are willing to challenge themselves, make mistakes, troubleshoot difficulties, and build connections.  This class is also structured to introduce learners to the mindset and habits of professional performing artists. No prior experience is necessary, but a desire to sing lots of songs and a willingness to learn and grow is ideal for a commitment to weekly ongoing lessons.  If you are not sure if this class is right for you, please consider enrolling in a one-time class or consultation prior to enrolling in a subscription:

This class will primarily be repertoire-based.  We will learn a variety of songs that learners want to sing and songs that I believe will help learners be better prepared for a future in the performing arts.  We will also learn real audition cuts and build an audition book. Sometimes I will provide the sheet music or learners will need to purchase sheet music from Musicnotes (~$6.00).  Throughout the ongoing classes, learners will also: 

(1) learn some new mindsets about what it means to be a performer and storyteller; 
(2) learn the actual pitches and rhythms of a variety of audition cuts of pop/rock and musical theatre songs; 
(3) learn singing tips to build performance confidence; 
(4) learn some easy ways to connect with themselves and with an audience; 
(5) learn how to self-tape for auditions; 
(6) learn the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA); 
(7) learn voice and speech tips to prepare for "slates" and "sides"; and 
(8) learn easy movements to be an expressive performer.  

Practical troubleshooting will be the main driving force behind this class.  As a coach, I often meditate on the following questions:  (1) How do we make sounds and communicate with speech and song?  (2) How do we convert 2D symbols (text) into a 3D body (performer) and create a 4D emotional experience (audience)?  (3) How do we use these skills to live more freely, intentionally, and expressively?  I hope to instill a beginner's appreciation for and a desire to start answering these questions.  As I continually train to be a useful coach, I hope the learners of this class will continually learn to be useful artists.
