- style

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.
