Our first lesson will begin with some goal setting. What led you to want voice lessons? For fun? To prep for a special performance? Are you wanting to be a full-time singer/artist? These questions will help me determine how I can best serve you, and where to start first. We also will spend some time going over your vocal warmups which I will send on a recording for you to practice daily at home. We will then sing through a song you are already familiar with, so I can get a good read on your style, tone, technique, etc. can’t wait to get started!
You complete your first performance. By now, I can assist you by picking some new songs that are more tailored to your voice, goals, and where I feel you need the most growth. We continue honing your technique, performance skills, and confidence.
We continue learning about head, mix, and chest voice, and complete an overview of vowel placements that help bring clarity and ease to your notes. We learn that, “Singing is an extension of speaking,” and what that means. Near our tenth lesson if you haven’t already, we cover some basics for performance because the best place for you to practice what we’ve been learning is on stage!
On your second and third lessons, we are able to get into more of a flow. Now, we begin with some vocal warmups/vocal straw exercises, and immediately jump into whatever song you’re working on. During these lessons, we talk extensively about breathing, how relaxation aids in singing correctly, and begin learning the difference between singing in head, mix, or chest voice.
