Voice Lessons Tennessee

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

Although my methods vary a bit depending on the instrument, the general plan is the same. For beginner students of instruments I focus first on fundamentals, such as finger placement, note names, what makes up chords so forth (again with a high emphasis on practice). I will gladly print out hard copies of chord sheets, note names, songs with chord markers if desired, or can display these digitally! For beginner students of voice, I start by teaching proper breathing, different parts of the voice, warm ups, and assessing the students vocal range. Read More

Instruments: Voice

Since every student is unique, every LESSON is unique. While the same basic principles of proper singing always apply, I tailor each and every lesson to the individual needs and capabilities of my students. What is most important is that we find a method that works for YOU. If that means standing on your head while belting out your Do-Re-Mis, then that's what we're gonna do! And if you're finding yourself stuck, unable to get over a particular hurdle, THAT'S OKAY! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Ukulele

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing students develop a passion for music. Therefore, its important that each student progress at their own pace. To do this, we will set realistic goals for the student at each lesson. Having a goal in which you practice toward every week can help encourage students to get better gradually and can break it down piece by piece. You dont become a virtuoso overnight! It often takes years of practice. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice

I am also looking to work with beginners on the instrument of voice and/or piano. I remember distinctly being facsinated with my vocal chords at a very early age. What am I doing? How can I sing that one low note? Why does it sound weird when I sing this way? Or at this time of day? Will I ever be able to belt that Eb!? I love discovering these new things with beginners and showing them the steps to exercise their curiosity in an effective way. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Music

I will start new students, especially young students, with folk songs, games and exercises to train the ear, sense of rhythm, and acting muscles, prepare them to be able to read and understand musical notation, and encouragement to perform in a solo capacity when possible. As students progress in skill and expertise, we will begin learning songs with notation, continue developing sight reading and aural skills, introduce more challenging repertoire and foreign languages, deepen technical vocabulary and understanding, and prepare for audition opportunities.
