Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Chouteau, OK

I have been a choir teacher for 3 years and I have a huge passion for singing! As a band kid that went to college playing a wind instrument (who also had very little interest in becoming a better singer), I was shocked to find just how much joy teaching others to sing brought me. Additionally, and I cannot stress this enough, I believe that EVERYONE can sing. Popular shows like "American Idol" or "America's Got Talent" would have you believe that singing is a talent that only a lucky few are born with. However, I am here to tell you that, just like any other instrument or worthwhile skill in life, singing takes practice! The more you dedicate yourself to practicing, the more you will grow. Simple as that! With that said, I am searching for eager students who wish to strengthen their vocal abilities! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of technical ability and excellent musicianship. Hopefully I'll be singing with ...

The first instrument in music, the voice! I look forward to enhancing your vocal skills and help you reach your highest potential!

All levels from beginners to recording artists. Vocal technique, breath control, performance coaching, vocal exercises, performance coaching, improving vocal range and tone, vocal resonance, pop vocals, finding your voice and singing in the right key

My students and I work together to improve vocal technique, develop performance style and build confidence. I happily coach total beginners, professional singers and everyone in between. The methods I use draw on a range of contemporary teaching concepts that aim to help you get the most out of YOUR unique voice, as opposed to trying to produce a specific, 'cookie cutter' sound. Although, if you want to work towards a particular vocal style (Broadway, studio- pop, metal etc) we can absolutely explore that too.

Ultimately, I just want to help you achieve your singing goals, whether that's to nail an audition, master your vocal runs, work towards a performance or just to crush your morning shower karaoke session!

Just like a piano, flute or violin, your voice is an instrument.
The purpose of voice lessons is to help you to develop a beautiful and dynamic singing voice and also to teach you to use your voice in a healthy age-appropriate way that will keep you singing for many years to come!
As your teacher, I want your lesson to be more than just singing through a few songs.
While what specifically happens during a voice lesson can vary greatly from student to student and from week to week, the overall structure of the lessons remains similar.
We will always start with some combination of warm-ups for your breath, body, and voice. Just as you wouldn't go running without first stretching and warming up your muscles, you don't want to start singing full songs without first getting your body and voice warmed up.
Warm-ups will also introduce you to new techniques for properly using your voice in a healthy and beautiful way.
After warm-ups, we will work on songs. Typically, you will sing ...
