Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Harlan, IN

I teach technique, audition and contest preparation, sight-singing, music reading, theory, and musicality.

I'm an experienced Vocal teacher/coach for over 13 years that's looking to work with eager students of all experience levels from ages 5 & up! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation in what they need to know to be successful.

Hello Singers in the making!
This class will help you improve, or learn, proper singing techniques; which will help you create your own beautiful, unique sound.
We will base the curriculum off of what your current level is.
- Your music is FREE, you will never need to purchase any sheet music when you are my student. I will make sure to get you a PDF of any music we work on.
- You will gain knowledge of the vocal anatomy; to use your instrument you must know how it works. So many people try to sing and they think they are bad singers, or believe they cannot sing. The fact is, you cannot sing properly unless you understand the structure of the anatomy that creates your sound. (To sing without knowing how your vocal folds, resonators, and lungs work would be like getting in a car and never being told what any of the gears do. It would be like baking without being told the ingredients.) You cannot "wing it", you have to know "how" in order to create a beautiful sound.

Singing with a resonant voice is one of the most beautiful things to be felt!
I want you to get the most out of our lesson and enjoy helping you get better at what you do best while we work on what you wish to improve!
I am good at creating a tailor made plan of study, based on the individual’s goals, styles and interests and have been a professional teacher for more than 5 years, including individual lessons, small vocal ensemble sound workshops and choir coaching.
I work on breathing technique for a resonant and voice and diction, as well as phrasing and improvising around the melodies. With my younger students, I might write songs and learn the words by miming while we work on articulation and good posture. I have experience with students as young as eight through college age and older and am open for genres from Pop, Soul and R&B to Jazz, original compositions and more.

I also teach how to read chords and accompany yourself if you have a piano or keyboard!

In singing, we learn ear training, as well as note-reading, and a variety of vocal techniques, including breathing, pronunciation, strengthening the vocal muscles, and expanding the student's range. We also talk about the story telling behind the lyrics of a song and various performing techniques.

For books, I use the Full Voice Workbook series, in combination with some of my own materials for ear-training and basic theory. I use a variety of songbooks that focus on Disney songs, Broadway/show tunes, classical, and folk songs, depending on the student's age. If there are songs the student wants to work on outside of our regular lesson material, I encourage them to bring that to the lesson as well.

Together we build your singing instrument using breath, vowels and tone so that, whatever style you choose to sing in, you are able to do it with ease.
I recommend adults take from 45 minutes to 1 hour lessons weekly for skill building. The price of lessons DECREASES by 10% after each 5 lesson purchased for the first 15 lessons.
