Glastonbury, CT Singing Lessons

I am not a highly trained singer, but I have taken many voice lessons over the years from various teachers, ranging from western classical teachers to Hindustani classical teachers. My guitar students are routinely made to sing, and I think singing is at the heart of all musical expression. I would love to help you find your voice.

All levels welcome

Singing is an expressive act! It's a creative outlet as well. For the individual who wants to casually learn the process, I have many great forms of instruction to accommodate this learning style. Singing is also a great way to build self-confidence and growth in teenagers as they navigate through the growth process. I'd love to answer any questions you might have for this process.

Singing lessons will be tailored to the individual student's goals, interests, and experience level and will involve a constant dialogue between teacher and student to guarantee satisfaction and enhance the learning experience. I am open to teaching all styles and genres and encourage voice students to take initiative when it comes to how they would like to develop as singers, whether that be in pursuit of a performance career, pure hobby, or stress relief. My lessons are typically broken up into two focuses:
> The first half of the lesson will focus on breathing and technical exercises, learning to warm up the voice in the healthiest and most beneficial way.
> The second half will focus on learning repertoire and building musicianship skills, such as reading music and performance technique.

Technique is the key to unlocking your success as a singer. Whether you're a pop star, rocker, rapper, belter, or screamer, a solid foundation and support system will increase your performance potential to their peaks. If you choose to work with me, I will help you achieve your goals by designing a lesson plan and strategy for you. I will teach you what you want to know and use your musical tastes to do it.

I love what I do! Teaching philosophy: everyone is born with a voice and has the ability to learn to sing regardless of age. Students at all levels including adult beginners welcome. Vocal range, control & tone quality will improve learning correct technique and safeguarding the instrument through correct care/use. I work with Regional/All State, college and professional auditions. I work with commercial musicians in many styles to improve their vocals.

With the proper technique, you will be able to improve every aspect of your voice. We will be working on breathing, intonation, resonance, diction, projection, voice registers, body posture and more to be able to take the most advantage of your voice and talent. The first part of the class will be focused on breathing, for it is the key to become an excellent singer. On the second part we will warm-up the voice with different music scales. And at the end we will work on a song of your choice.

I've been teaching voice lessons for over eight years. I have students of all ages in both classical style and musical theater. Many have been successful on stage, in musicals, concerts, and auditions across the country. In our lessons, I work on developing the students technique in a healthy way through various breathing, singing, and relaxation exercises.

We will practice the most effective work in vocal health, development, restoration, performance, improvisation, arranging, composition, theory, and great works of all genre.

Music is a language. If you wish to improve your overall musical abilities, learn how to be more expressive, and become more fluent in the language of music, these lessons are for you. I have over 20 years of experience in music and 10+years in teaching at schools, privately, church teams, and traveling with recording artists. No matter your skill level or abilities, we can make progress together in your musical life.
