Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson, I focus on getting to know the student’s goals, experience, and comfort level with their voice. We begin with gentle vocal warm-ups to observe natural coordination without pressure. I introduce basic foundations such as posture, breath awareness, and simple phonation exercises. The goal is to create a supportive environment where the student feels comfortable, understood, and leaves with an early sense of ease and direction in their voice.
Lesson 2-3In the second and third lessons, we begin building consistency in foundational technique. We continue developing breath support, posture, and balanced phonation, while introducing simple exercises that reinforce coordination and vocal freedom. Students may begin applying these skills to very simple vocal lines or easy repertoire in their chosen style. Each lesson builds gradually so the student gains confidence, awareness, and a clearer understanding of healthy vocal production.
Drills:
* lip trills
* straw phonation
* sirens
Lesson 4-10From the fourth through tenth lessons, students begin developing a more stable technical foundation and applying it more consistently to repertoire. We continue strengthening breath support, resonance balance, and vocal coordination, while gradually introducing more structured songs in their chosen style. We also begin working on phrasing, diction, and musical expression. By this stage, students typically experience noticeable improvements in vocal control, confidence, and consistency, along with better practice habits
Drills:
* 5-note scales
* arpeggios
* breath timing exercises
* resonance awareness exercises
Lesson 11+In ongoing study, students continue refining vocal technique while expanding repertoire and artistic expression. We work on advanced coordination skills such as agility, resonance refinement, stylistic interpretation, and performance readiness. Lessons also focus on developing independence as a musician—learning how to practice efficiently, troubleshoot challenges, and prepare for auditions or performances. My goal is for students to develop a healthy, expressive, and sustainable vocal technique that supports long-term artistic growth and confidence
Drills: Students continue refining technique through more advanced variations of earlier exercises while applying them to repertoire
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson with an advanced student, I focus on understanding their current vocal technique, artistic goals, and any technical challenges they are experiencing. We do targeted vocal exercises and repertoire work to assess breath efficiency, registration balance, resonance, and stylistic approach. The goal is to quickly identify strengths and areas for refinement, and to establish a clear, individualized direction for continued advanced study
Lesson 2-3In the second and third lessons, we begin addressing specific technical and artistic goals identified in the first session. This may include work on breath coordination, register transitions, vowel shaping, agility, diction, and stylistic interpretation. We also begin refining repertoire choices or audition material, focusing on consistency, control, and expressive clarity under technical demands
Drills:
* vowel tuning
* registration balance exercises
* resonance adjustment work
Lesson 4-10From the fourth through tenth lessons, we deepen technical refinement and artistic interpretation across repertoire. Work includes advanced breath management, resonance tuning, vocal flexibility, diction precision, and stylistic authenticity across genres such as opera, art song, and musical theatre. Students also develop performance skills, including phrasing, emotional communication, and stamina, with a focus on preparing material for auditions, performances, or professional use
Drills:
* agility (fast scales)
* arpeggios across range
* vowel modification
* diction/IPA (if classical)
* resonance tuning exercises
* breath efficiency patterns
Lesson 11+In ongoing advanced study, the focus shifts toward mastery, artistry, and long-term vocal sustainability. We continue refining technical efficiency while expanding interpretive depth, stylistic versatility, and stage presence. Students work on high-level repertoire, audition and performance preparation, and developing a distinct artistic identity. My goal is to support singers in achieving freedom, consistency, and expressive depth while maintaining healthy vocal technique over time
Drills:
Students continue refining technique through increasingly individualized vocalises tailored to repertoire demands, focusing on efficiency, artistry, and performance consistency

Working with kidsWhen working with children, I adapt my teaching to be age-appropriate, engaging, and supportive. I focus on creating a positive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable exploring their voice. Lessons are structured with short, focused activities to maintain attention, and I use simple, playful exercises to introduce foundational concepts such as breath, pitch awareness, and healthy vocal production. I also incorporate songs that are appropriate for their age and interests to keep them motivated and connected to the learning process. My priority is to build confidence, musical curiosity, and healthy vocal habits in a fun and stress-free way.
Working with teenagersWith teenagers, I adjust my approach to support both their independence and their technical development. I create a collaborative learning environment where students feel heard and encouraged while still receiving clear guidance on vocal technique. We work on healthy voice production, repertoire in styles they enjoy, and gradually more advanced musical skills such as interpretation and performance preparation. I also help students prepare for auditions and build confidence as performers, with a focus on developing a strong, healthy, and expressive voice.
What you need to bring* A willingness to learn and participate
* Water for vocal hydration
* Any sheet music or songs they are currently working on or want to study
* A notebook or device for taking notes (optional)
* A phone or recording device if they would like to record parts of the lesson for practice
* For online lessons: a quiet space and a stable internet connection
* No special equipment is required—just readiness to engage and explore their voice
What I can bringI bring structured vocal training tailored to each student’s level and goals, including customized warm-ups, technical exercises, and repertoire guidance. I also provide accompaniment tracks when needed, as well as musical examples and practice strategies to support independent work between lessons. My focus is on creating a clear, organized lesson experience that supports healthy vocal development, musicality, and consistent progress.
