Classical Voice Lessons in Round Lake. Amazing Teachers.

The voice is the grandest instrument of all instruments. For over 25 years, Steven B is one of the best instructors out there. He teaches in students’ homes across the United States as easily as in the Coronado Music Studio. Provide teaching at all stages. All skill levels taught. Complete beginners are welcome. Mr. Steven B intersects methodologies of Bel Canto, Alexander's technique, and the secrets of singing. By the way, Alexander’s technique can bring back to health a damaged speaking voice, as well as keeping the singer’s voice sound and pain free. Broken down, singing involves three areas: mind, technique, and performance. There are many technical concepts to train in singing. From vowel shapes, to understanding consonants, to landing gently on high notes. Great technique leads to great expression. Mr. Steven B is skilled in preparing a student for an audition or performance. The chief purpose of singing is to bring oneself joy. Prepare to learn a lot and have fun!

I have been teaching classical voice for several years. Having studied voice for over 25 years, I have learned to tailor the lessons to students' specific needs. I specialize in learning with proper technique so that singing is easy and fun. We'll also work on musicality through songs and arias.

Voice Lessons may include the following...

+ Vocal warm-up exercises
+ Technique and style development
+ Selected songs to practice
+ A recorded copy of the lesson to review and practice with.

As a private instructor, Nicholas seeks to develop students of his own to build excellent technique that they may become confident and comfortable singers in any style they desire.

"I can't sing." That's something I hear from a lot of people when they find out that I'm a singer. My response: EVERYONE can sing. That's why I teach singing with three easy basic concepts: Breathe, Imagine, and Trust. Breath is the foundation of singing on which all other elements of healthy technique are based (vowel, enunciation, phrasing, etc.). Imagine is all about learning what's possible with your instrument, and Trust is what allows your body to make your Imagination a Reality. Whether you want to sing in your living room or in front of thousands of people, I'll work with you to make sure you have the technique and the confidence to do so.

I have been teaching professionally for 7 years. All ages welcome. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. I focus on building a strong foundation based on good, diaphragmatic breathing and a HEALTHY vocal technique. Let's get started!

I will build you a positive environment to learn in, featuring repertoire you enjoy, positive affirmation, and constructive criticism. These lessons are about you, and I want to make sure you feel personally fulfilled.
