Private Voice Lessons are $65 per month and are a half an hour in length. (4 lessons)
I teach the speech level method of singing. I implement presentation (or in other words stage presence or performance) skills, sight-reading, and harmonization into my lessons when possible. My father and I prefer to refer to our style of teaching as "vocal toning".
We begin every lesson with warm-ups. We then work on sight-reading and harmonization skills. It is important to know how to read music and not just be able to sing. We work on single line sight-reading as well as block and contrapuntal style of sight-reading (when you can hear, pick out and sing your own part amongst other parts being played). We then work on a solo piece that the student chooses and brings to the lesson. It can be sheet music (please bring a copy for me to keep so I can practice on piano), cd, or ipod. Sheet music is preferred but all are acceptable.
I hold a recital twice a year. Once during the holidays and once at the end of the school year and beginning of summer.
Please refer to the Piano/Vocal Contract tab listed above.
