In this private one-on-one class for young learners who love to sing, we will: 

(1) build a repertoire of favorite songs that learner chooses and songs that I may recommend; 
(2) exercise various muscles involved in speaking and singing, including the eyes; 
(3) learn some basic musicianship skills; and 
(4) learn some easy performance skills.  

No prior experience is necessary -- just a curiosity for trying new things, a willingness to make mistakes, and a love for singing.  In general, we will spend most of the time building repertoire and learning parent-approved songs that learner really enjoys singing.  As the 6-8 age group can differ widely in their physical and mental development, and even on a day-to-day basis, I will adjust the lessons accordingly to be more musicianship-based, technique-based or performance-based depending on the learner's personality and learner's goals.  We will learn primarily through imitation and repetition. As children tend to enjoy repetition, we may spend several lessons on the same song, which I will use to build thinker skills (e.g., rhythm, solfege, pitch matching, sight reading), doer skills (e.g., muscle coordination involving breath, articulation, and range), and feeler skills (e.g., expressive movements, style, groove).  We will combine these skills to develop connection with an audience and to build confidence when performing.

Before each class, please let me know what songs you would like to sing.  Please have a second device to play accompaniment tracks.  If you would like me to choose a song, please be prepared to occasionally purchase digital sheet music (~$6.00) from Musicnotes at the website www.musicnotes.com.  They have a wonderful selection of songs and audition cuts that are very useful for learning purposes, especially for online and self learning.  (There is also a Musicnotes Pro account available for additional discounts.)  After purchase, download the Musicnotes Player App on a second device.  You can use the App to play only the melody or only the piano.  You can also change the tempos.  For class, please have the Musicnotes Player ready to sing along with.  Please contact me if there are any questions.  

Please refer to Supply List for additional information.  

Please note that, in my experience, the 6-8 year-old learners who seem to thrive in this weekly ongoing class are children who love to sing all day long and seem to never have a shortage of songs that they are listening to or wanting to learn.  If the child does not have a clear goal of wanting to perfect old songs or learn new songs each week, the child will most likely get bored with lessons, which is very normal and not indicative of singing ability.  The child may instead thrive in a social group class or performance class, choir, or school/community musical.  If you are unsure about enrolling in weekly lessons, please consider a one-time lesson or consultation (request a time that works for you):

Another option is to try weekly lessons for about 4 weeks and then take intermittent lessons until your child is older and ready for more formal or professional training.  I also welcome parental involvement and even participation in the class so that parents can help their children practice throughout the week.
