Voice Lessons
Voice lessons are offered for students of all ages. Younger students will work on learning the basics of breathing and maneuvering their voices. Older students begin to add more pieces to the puzzle with work on more advanced techniques and expression. Advanced students work on putting the whole package together and create complete performances out of each song.
Singing and the human voice are complex subjects, and no two students will receive the same training. Some of the topics included in voice training include body awareness/bodywork, breathing, diction, classical and contemporary techniques, musicianship, mic skills and more.
