Voice lessons are an on-going process of learning. There are so
many important components of developing proper singing technique and
musical knowledge, and these components should be addressed
simultaneously to encourage the maximum level of retention and growth.
Therefore, vocal technique, music theory, ear training, and song
practice are incorporated during every lesson. As the weeks and
months pass, students should feel a comprehensive sense of improvement
and education.
Specifically, each lesson is comprised of vocal warmups, during which
the student will work on vocal technique development; theory
and sight-singing learning, including staff reading, key signature and
scale education, and solfege training; piano skill development, with
hands-on practice of drills and repertoire; and repertoire singing to
learn and sculpt songs that have been selected uniquely for the student,
according to his/her abilities, interests, and skill level.
