Morrison, CO Classical Voice Lessons

I have been teaching singing for 4 years and my students vary from amateurs to artists who prepare for auditions and take part in performances. Within the first few lessons, we will learn to increase the attentiveness of our hearing and gain firmness of tone (primarily by means of this very constantly attentive, governing hearing). As we advance, we will gradually gain knowledge of the instrument (your body) by means of easy exercises. The tools are very simple and very few. The center of the process is the effort of your attentiveness and your imagination.
I specialize in opera, but have helped singers from every walk of the art. Singer-songwriter students have been greatly supported by my composition background.
We typically start by those difficulties that most concern you about your singing. Students of all ages and experience levels are welcome.

I teach my students using the same methods that have been used by singing teachers for hundreds of years, including solfege, sight singing, and classical training techniques such as the bel canto method.

Whether you want to prepare yourself for college auditions, sing better at your choir or church, or just enjoy the fun nd health benefits of singing, I can help you. With almost 15 years of teaching experience, I have come to watch many of my students go on to college and graduate school successfully. Most of them under full tuition scholarships. I am a classically trained singer myself and the approach to my lessons are over all focused on healthy emission of the voice with emphasis on breath suport and appropriate placement according to the style you want to perform: classical, musical theatre, jazz or any contemporary genre. I will help you reach your goals with vocal exercises and weekly routines designed specific for your needs. All you need is desire to learn and enjoy!

I have been singing classically for 13 years and been teaching others how to sing classically for 5. I teach French, Italian, German, Spanish, English diction, how to sing correctly and project with resonance, and the history of the music you are singing!

I have an M.M. in vocal performance from the Chicago College of Performing Arts and have extensive operatic training. I teach an open throat technique (appoggio) that allows the singer to sing with freedom, and access their entire range evenly. I also work with students to develop style, interpretation, languages, and acting ability.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music with an emphasis in Voice Performance from the University of Denver, and I received excellent training there from Cathy Kasch, my private voice instructor.

Teaching voice lessons is a beautiful and rewarding process. In lessons with, you'll learn about breath control, voice placement, how to sing in foreign languages, etc. I am comfortable working with aspiring Opera singers and I will help you learn to fill a large theatre with the beautiful acoustic sound of your voice.

I am a classically trained vocalist with a Bachelor's of Music in Vocal Performance. I believe in stress-feee, tension-free singing in all styles of music. My teaching emphasizes the importance of healthy, relaxed breathing! Above all, I believe that singing is an expression of joy, so my studio is a safe and relaxed atmosphere for students to explore music and their unique voices.

Explore the world of opera and classical music and learn how to sing with proper technique, posture, and breath. Using various warm ups and exercises, we’ll dive into resonance, breathing from the diaphragm, various placements of the voice, and how to project. (Afterall, our whole goal is to break the glass, right?) Think you’re only a tenor? Maybe just an alto? We’ll make it our goal to build a voice that’s consistent from bottom to top with the hopes of eventually becoming a versatile singer throughout your entire range.

I teach basic singing techniques and vocal coaching, which includes breathing, posture and jaw position. We will work on vocal exercises, breathing exercises and song style and interpretation. You will also learn performance stance, emotive expression and stage etiquette. Performance recitals are optional but a possibility. Learning proper vocal technique helps shape the quality of your voice and helps prevent vocal injury, often caused by poor posture, breath support and singing from the throat, which puts strain on the vocal cords, causing nodes. We will work to build singing endurance through stretching your breath capacity and singing for longer periods of time. Six lessons is required for learning the basic principles, while more lessons are needed for mastery of skills and learning a song well.
