Nixa, MO Singing Lessons

I am not certified in any one technique but have extensive background in Speech Level Singing (SLS), classical technique, the Alexander Technique, The Body Mapping Method, and can teach Proper Musical Theatre Belting. I specialize in music from all genres and styles. I focus on developing a beautiful and unique sound for each student while maintaining a healthy, flexible voice.

I work with a variety of methods and concepts to ensure that I am building a solid understanding of music in my students. I work on intonation, proper breathing, sound placement, and making noise. Making noise is essential to sing. :-)

I teach classical repertoire and technique as well as Musical Theatre, Pop, Rock, Standards, Country, RnB,...you name it and I'll teach you how to sing it. The best part is that you will learn to sing in a manner that will not damage your instrument and will keep you singing for years to come.

singing. it's what i do.

I have been singing with barbershop quartets, classical choral groups, and contemporary a cappella groups for four decades. I teach the classical approach to the voice, which can be adapted to any style of singing you choose.

Experienced, thorough and FUN singing teacher for over 7 years available for PASSIONATE students WITH TALENT in need of skill training and honing their craft! I specialize in ear training, control, dynamics and connecting emotionally with performance. I generally use Berklee College of Music books and provide students with "homework" resources to help expand their knowledge base and develop their gift. With enough time, and if you will put in the work, you will reach your singing goals by the end of lessons.

Throughout the course of your lessons we will work on warm-ups, repertoire (songs), and basic theory (time signatures, note values, chord progressions, etc.). Usually warm-ups and exercises take about 15-20 minutes and the rest of the hour is spent on repertoire. This will vary depending on the student. I think that singing should be fun, so I tailor my teaching to each of my students' individual desires/goals.

Tonal quality and textures. Dynamics and expression.

I have experience in college audition preparation, school musical audition preparation, PMEA district regional and state audition preparation, church and worship performance. I have been performing for over 12 years in choirs, musicals, solo opera performance, and church worship.

While I have been classically trained, and that is how I approach most lessons, I have also had success in teaching students in worship style technique. I seek to help you gain confidence in performance, and knowledge of your own unique voice and basic music theory and vocal pedagogy. I love working with students of all ages. I can't wait to meet!

With 15 years experience in teaching technique, I work strongly on breathing and vocal placement so that the student learns to sing correctly without hurting their voice. I have prepeared students for auditions to conservatories of music including Berkley College of Music, Music Conservatory of Puerto Rico and many more. I have also prepeared students that have auditioned to The Voice. I work classical and popular voices. I also give recording studio vocal coaching. You'll start learning immediately you start your lesson. I don't teach tricks, I teach processes.

Hello, and welcome! I have been singing for 30 years, having accomplished some great awards through choir and singing in a group at the Lake of the ozarks. I have a strong passion for singing and believe it's a true form of unique expression. I will work with students with the intent for them to truly find their own style. I sing anything from R&B to country music. If the student desires we can work in competition music and get you in your first talent show! We would work on mic control, stage performance, and the performance itself. I hope to hear from you soon.

I offer lessons in American traditional singing (including Southern Mountain style) and in traditional Irish singing (in both English and Irish Gaelic). I help students improve their vocal technique, while encouraging them to step outside the pop and classical vocal idioms to learn how to sing in traditional idioms, including (depending on preference) suitable melodic ornamentation.

"Many people are talented as performers but not gifted as instructors--Julie is most definitely both. She uses her keen ear to let you know your strengths, and finds productive ways to help you improve weak points. She lives and breathes traditional music and it is always a true delight to learn from her." –Sierra-Maria Magdalena, traditional Irish singing student

“Julie Henigan brings to her teaching a perfect combination of knowledge and musical enthusiasm, combined with a lovely voice and excellent guitar technique. She also has the gentle communication skills that make any level of student feel ...
