Rialto, CA Singing Lessons

Finding your real voice, free vocalizing, harmony, blending, improve usable range, the mixed voice. The first steps to mastering vocal freedom are the building blocks for vocal success. Whether the student is a child or an adult, with little or no training, it is my goal to make singing an enjoyable and freeing experience. Singing with complete vocal freedom and confidence can seem very elusive. Surprisingly, it's not as elusive as one might think! The steps to vocal freedom are within reach and most students experience a measure of freedom within the first lessons. Using a systematic method incorporating learning technique and songs the student loves to sing makes learning more fun and gives the student a greater appreciation of music as a whole while encouraging a passion for music that lasts a lifetime.

Learn how to control, place and project your voice, use your stage, display presence, and perform.

The voice is an instrument and, like any instrument, you need to understand how each part of your instrument works to create music. You also need to know the best way to take care of your instrument so that you don't permanently damage it.

I teach vocal techniques and exercises to help my students become a better singer. My students will learn how to use their diaphragm; how to use dynamics; how to project; how to build up their lung capacity; how to sing in a clear and articulate manner; how to sing various different types of music; how to control their voice; and how to develop their natural ear for music as well as showmanship.

I have been teaching and singing professionally for over 25 years. In the lesson, I always start with warm-up vocalizing. Then, we work on songs, depending on the student and type of voice and interest; and always including music theory, the foundation. Each student is unique; so I customize the lessons and repertoire to suit each student. Even if someone cannot match pitch, I have had great success. We work on improving tone and expanding range as well as song interpretation.

I am a dedicated actress, singer, vocal technician and acting coach. My claim to fame is that I get results very quickly!!! I have been performing and teaching since I left the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and Juilliard to pursue a career in Opera. Because of my training, I also branched out into musical theater and jazz. I have sung before such distinguished individuals as Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. Charlton Heston and President Ronald Reagan and his wife. I have sung with Opera Pacific Symphony Orchestra, Cypress Symphony Orchestra, Capistrano Valley Symphony and was honored to sing in concert with Broadway legend John Raitt, father of Bonnie Raitt. I have written, produced, directed and performed as a soloist in concert versions of Kern and Company, Broadway Show Stoppers, Jewish Composers on Broadway and a Christmas show entitled Sing the Season. I have performed in many Operas and Broadways musicals too numerous to mention because we are only allowed 2500 ...

I have written and sung over 40 songs in classical, jazz, and rock repertoire. I have over 8 years' vocal training and can teach students how to properly breathe, project notes, and have vocal control. I also teach vocal phrasing according to each singer's range and ability. I love to sing songs all the time that have flowing melody and really move people. If you want to do the same, come with me.

We will study proper breathing, placement, stretching your vocal range, posture, poise, vowels, stage presence, communicating the lyric of a song, connecting with your audience, song selection, voice type, ear training, confidence, mic technique, how to read music, music resources, building your repertoire, pitch, rhythm, how to choose a song, vocal exercises, proper technique, mouth placement, tone, and facial expressions amongst many others!

Trained with the best vocal coach in the business Ron Anderson. I enjoy a successful music career as an independent singer songwriter. This is mostly because I'm able to sing for hours and multiple days in a row. My teachings will increase your range, strengthen your voice, and uncover new tones that you can apply to different genres and parts of a song.

I work with students of all ages and levels of experience. My goal as a private voice instructor is first and foremost to make sure that singing remains a source of joy for my students.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
My students improve their technique through breathing and technical exercises, they expand their knowledge of musical literature through exposure to a wide variety of repertoire, and they learn to become not only a better singer, but a better all around musician as I integrate music theory, sight-singing, and musicianship into each lesson. They also gain the valuable experience of live performance, as they are given the opportunity to present their repertoire in a studio-wide recital twice a year.

I have been taking private vocal lesson/choir lessons for the past 14 years of my life! i can play some piano, and can aid in teaching the basics of singing, improving improper technique, and aiding for auditions for musicals/solos/shows. I was at the top of my high school choir and awarded at graduation for recognition of my dedication to the performing arts. I love singing and am more than willing to work with students of all ages. I currently am in one of the top choirs in the world, Mt. SAC Chamber Singers. I am also currently taking lessons with a private vocal instructor and will use my knowledge from that to keep my lessons as updated as possible.
