Voice Lessons in Warren, MA

Instruments: Voice

I love teaching because I get to help students not only deepen their relationship with music but also with themselves and their own vocal abilities. I always start with a voice consultation where we examine your current vocal abilities and strengths, talk about your relationship with your voice as an instrument, and dive deep into your musical goals. We will talk about which vocal techniques and exercises will be right for you and also pick out some repertoire that represents you. Read More

I prefer to do half-hour lessons for beginners and young musicians. After more lessons can be prepared, forty-five minute or hour long lessons are more appropriate.

For voice students, I begin with a vocal exercise book and a collection of songs to learn. For all my students, I encourage you to bring in your own materials to work on as well. Read More

I firmly believe in starting with the basics of singing for younger students, however they should have fun as well as learn. Giving them a choice in at least one song we do every so often, to me, is the way to keep them interested in the art. As the students get older, I attempt to have them sing in multiple genres and languages, as to broaden their experience and see what they like. Read More
