Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Buford, GA

I have had the joy of coaching many students throughout the years. I love helping others grow their singing skills and increase their confidence and creativity! Many of my students have gone onto pursue music careers and/or being selected for singing roles in productions. I teach all genres of music and my goal is to make you shine!

Start understanding how to create sounds with your body, warmup your muscles, and begin to sing favorite, simple songs. The focus is on enjoyment and encouraging fun, positive experiences in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Emphasis on releasing tension, creating more vocal resonance space, breathing, and how to produce sound.

I teach beginners to pros. I work on many aspects of singing from good basic technique covering breathing, tone quality and production, exploring the voice, expanding range, connecting registers, artist development- exploring styles/genres, finding/writing material, developing a sound, performance coaching, studio singing. Commercial voice- pop, r&b/soul, country, singer/songwriter, rock

The most important aspect of vocal training that I will emphasize is breath control and support. Connecting to the body when singing will ensure vocal protection and prevent any unwanted vocal strain. Once we have worked on technique through various scales and breathing exercises, I will teach them how to apply these elements of singing to their repertoire. When we work on repertoire, I try to alternate between technical practice and artistic expression. I want to make sure the student is having fun, communicating their art, and discovering their own unique artistic identity, which I believe to be the most important aspect of being a singer! I will provide my students with new challenges each week and help them to gain new tools to practice healthily and efficiently.

I have been teaching this subject for over 16 years. There is no specific curriculum as each student will come to lessons with their own unique skills, needs, and goals. Lessons are tailored to those specifics. It is not necessary to know how to read music at the first lesson for beginners. However, learning to read is required for subsequent lessons and will be a large focus for all non-readers. Music is not learned "by ear." A certain amount of theory will be a part of every lesson just as technique and repertoire. Concerning repertoire, it may be selected from the western classical, musical theatre, and popular rep based on the student's goals and learning needs with their input. The main emphasis on performance lessons, however, will be technique and reading. Students should come to the first lesson prepared to discuss their background & goals and the plan of their course of study.
