Instruments: Voice

I personally practice SOVT, where we start with light humming, use a semi-occluded means of vocalizing (such as lip trills or a straw in water) to gradually warm-up the vocal cords and bring the breath under the voice for adequate support. Then we move on to actual vocalizations. Over several lessons, we work on a chosen piece together and begin building repertoire appropriate to the singer.

For beginning students, I start with Gerald E. Anderson and Robert S. Frost's All for Strings.

For adults, I try to provide the students in their interested music so that, playing music is fun and entertaining to them. Read More
