Voice Lessons in Vail, AZ

Instruments: Voice

My teaching methods are very straightforward. We spend a lesson working through one or two songs. These songs can be provided by the student or by myself. After running through the songs we examine the tools that would be best used to improve the sound and performance of the songs. The most common techniques that I use in lessons are chiaroscuro resonance, even flow phonation, and vowel equalization. I believe in improving by trial and error. Read More

For voice, I assess the students range, current ability, and goals, and then we focus on vocal exercises that will help them improve their technique and on repertoire that interests them. Read More
