There are many misused vocal techniques and scientific reasons why your voice is not sounding its best. I can educate you how to sing the healthy way without straining or hurting your voice. There are specific vocal exercises you will learn to strengthen both your chest and head voice.
You can learn to BELT the healthy way.
All vocal students will be exposed to all styles of singing techniques. I use a state-of-the-art computer software program called a spectrogram to aid in your lessons.
Students will learn to read music, clap, rhythms, and sight-singing. We play music theory games, music theory worksheets, and learn to sing harmonies while playing games with dice and cards. We also performing duets.
Each lesson is recorded and sent via email for practicing and guidance.
Recital showcases are available throughout the year in small groups or via Zoom.
