First Lesson

During your first lesson we'll discuss your singing history, experience and goals. We'll also diagnose your voice to determine your singing tendencies. Then we'll apply specific vocal exercises tailored for you to help improve your voice. If time permits we'll apply these exercises to a song. The technique you learn in your lessons is designed to help you successfully sing the songs you want from any genre or style of music.

You'll receive a recording of each lesson on a CD, SD chip or USB jump drive so you can practice during the week. Usually private lessons are 30 minutes long. However, longer lessons may be scheduled if needed.

What to Expect During Subsequent Lessons

If you have an audition or gig coming up, we may want to focus exclusively on getting ready for your performance. If not we'll usually work on technique, using vocal exercises to balance, strengthen and develop your voice and then apply technique to songs. Students will have the opportunity to perform in several Sing Voice Studio concerts during the year.

Monthly Performance Class for Private Students

On the 4th Tuesday and Wednesday of each month we hold a performance class for the private students. This is where the private students sing for each other. This is an important part of your development as a singer where you can practice singing for an audience. These are your fellow students so the audience is very supportive. Performing for other students is very helpful especially if you are getting ready for an audition or performance.
