Piano with Brad M.

I have been a public school vocal music educator for 24 years in Kansas, Oklahoma and Florida. I have 30 hours of Masters degree work in Voice performance from Oklahoma City University and have been singing on stage since the age of six. My students have been successful at all levels of competition and are college ready when they leave my studio. I place a high emphasis on vocal health and helping the student to discover their voice. No matter the age together we will develop the skill that will last you a lifetime. I have a Bachelor of Music Education, a Masters of Education and ABD in the PhD field of Educational Leadership. I am classically trained but have sung everything from Bach to Rock. I have also released a gospel/sacred CD entitled "The Journey Begins" found online at most music sites. *** Lesson Details *** Students in my studio can expect the following depending upon their needs and vocal maturity; A. Basic vocal pedagogy to develop proper physical characteristics for good vocal production. B. Repertoire based on individual student goals C. Basic understanding of music theory and sight singing principles D. Best practices as it relates to vocal health You will find me engaging and friendly. Our goal here is to help you discover and unlock the joy music can bring to your life and the lives of those who hear you. Music is said to be the window to the soul and my job is to encourage and support your expression of that very principle. *** Studio Equipment *** Piano and CD Playback *** Travel Equipment *** They will need a room and piano (either electric or acoustic) I will bring books and literature which they eventually will be required to purchase. *** Specialties *** Vocal Pedagogy from Pop to Classical Music.
