Suffield, CT Singing Lessons

If you made it to adulthood and simply cannot carry a tune or think you just sound bad, I'd love to help! If you are looking for singing lessons for your child, I'd be happy to work with you as long as you create an environment at home where singing is rewarded and encouraged!

Singing is fun! Everyone has their own unique instrument, and not everyone chooses to use it. I'll tell you a secret: I've never met one person in my life that is truly tone deaf. Matching a pitch is a skill, not something you're born with. Let's do it!

*Note that it is very difficult to convey certain subtleties of posture and tone in online lessons, and as a result I recommend finding an instructor who can teach singing lessons in person. If you already have some experience singing and are mostly looking for coaching on songs, I'm comfortable working with you online, but if you're an absolute beginner, I would prefer for you to find a coach in your area who can help you in person.

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.

I have been taking singing lessons for 12 years with a wide range of teachers, and I have been giving singing lessons for 3 years to an even wider range of students. I have a Bachelor of Music degree, with a focus in voice performance, so I am well-versed in many forms of technique and style. I always make sure my students are engaged and focused, and my goal is to help them achieve their personal goals. My least enjoyable experiences were when I had teachers who weren't tuned in to my specific needs and wants, so I make sure to always be attentive and accepting of my students. I also try to push my students to their greatest potential, and have students who have made it to Broadway and other successful arenas.

Been teaching guitar for over a decade. I cater the lessons to the individual and what they are looking to get out of them. I played lead guitar in several bands before starting my solo thing. I will give you all the tools you need to be great.

Thanks,
Nathan

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'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.

I teach all styles of voice, including musical theater, pop, classical, and opera. I believe that breathing is the most integral part of singing, and I bring to each lesson the understanding that the voice is a muscle that needs to be patiently trained, much like you would do a physical workout in a gym. Typically, I begin lessons with warm-ups tailored to each student’s skill level and goals. Then, we work on pieces related to the student’s interest, generally including one classical piece and one contemporary piece, analyzing the similarities between these styles and applying the same skills to both. Students can expect to see improvement in their projection, style, diction, musicality, and performance practice. My students enjoy our lessons together because they leave each lesson with a clearer direction that they can apply to the songs they desire to sing.

Our voices are a special, powerful instrument! My teaching style is dynamic and high energy. My philosophy is built on teaching the entire musician. In lessons with me we will focus on musicianship, reading and aural skills, as well as overall performing practice.
