Lessons & Workshops

As a singing teacher and vocal coach I offer edu­ca­tion and guid­ance on healthy vocal pro­duc­tion and on how to achieve your tech­ni­cal and/or artis­tic singing goals.

I wel­come singers of all musi­cal back­grounds and lev­els, from begin­ners to pro­fes­sion­al singers, actors, and speak­ers. I am also avail­able as a coach for bands, stu­dio record­ings, vocal groups, etc. The fol­low­ing top­ics are cov­ered as need­ed or upon request:

What you can learn

  • support/breath con­trol
  • more volume/power, singing softer
  • reach­ing high and low notes
  • vocal pro­duc­tion anatomy
  • the four vocal modes of singing
  • blend­ing with oth­er voices
  • sound col­or — how to adjust your per­son­al sound
  • vocal effects (dis­tor­tion, creaks, creak­ing, growl, grunt, vocal breaks, vibra­to, ornamentation…)
  • prevent/ solve vocal prob­lems / emer­gency aid
  • style
  • inter­pre­ta­tion
  • per­for­mance preparation
  • micro­phone technique

Indi­vid­ual atten­tion — great for address­ing indi­vid­ual issues, vocal trou­bles, brush­ing up on tech­nique, prepar­ing for a per­for­mance, or for those look­ing for a safe and con­fi­den­tial environment.

Covid-19 has affect­ed mil­lions of peo­ple. Until the end July 2020, I offer reduced rates to any­one who needs addi­tion­al finan­cial sup­port. Please email me to request adjust­ed rates.

Group Sessions

Explore the voice togeth­er and learn from each oth­er. 2, 3 or 4 singers learn­ing togeth­er is fun. If you know oth­er singers, get togeth­er and sign up as a team. It makes lessons more afford­able for every­one and you have a ready-made sup­port group. Or, sign up for pri­vate lessons and let me know that you would be inter­est­ed in a group expe­ri­ence. When pos­si­ble, I will glad­ly group stu­dents stu­dents together. 

  • Con­tent is flex­i­ble depend­ing on the group’s inter­ests and needs.
  • Learn about the 3 over­all prin­ci­ples, the 4 modes, sound col­or and effects.
  • Les­son rate depends on length of time booked, fre­quen­cy, and size of group.
