Newcastle, OK Singing Lessons

I have been singing since the tender age of 2. I believe that anyone can sing! I am here to help you discover, mold and develop your voice!

I began singing at a very young age for anyone who would listen and began taking music and voice lessons shortly thereafter. I am a USC graduate and have also studied music privately for over 20 years as well as at the Vocal Power Academy of Los Angeles. My main musical styles that I perform and teach are Pop, Rock, Folk, and Americana/Country but I also have a background in Musical Theater. I specialize in creating a lesson plan that suits the needs and skill set of each individual student.

I want to help you find your voice and express yourself -- to SHINE and have a lot of fun in the process! I'd like to pass along some of my expertise and knowledge to you. I've been a performing vocalist all my life, with formal training beginning in high school, continuing into college and into my career as a professional musician. I have "stage" experience (choral, broadway musicals, opera) AND experience in the "band" arena, performing vocals and/or bass guitar and guitar for rock, pop, R&B and jazz gigs.

We will learn proper breathing and support techniques as well as how to control tone.

I cater to whatever style of singing is preferred.

In one lesson I can make everything easier to sing while still maintaining power and expression using Speech Level Singing (Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, etc.) and IVA (Institute of Vocal Advancement) techniques.

I've been singing for 30 years but have studied this method for the past six years and the first lesson blew me away! I get a thrill out of doing the same thing for my students.

We work to cultivate your singing voice so you can let the song of your heart shine forth with power and passion. During lessons, we work through vocal warm-ups, vocal exercises and a song of your choice (any style is great). It is most helpful to have a backing track of your song during the lesson. I teach solid vocal technique to help students find and develop their unique sound and maintain a strong and healthy singing voice for years.

If you are looking for professional high quality voice training then this is the right place to be!

I specialize in training voices at all levels of experience. If you think you have a voice in there I can help you find it! We will work together to find what your voice does naturally to find the best technique for you! Every voice is different because each human body and throat is different. It doesn't make sense to train all voices the same way. Individualized training that is designed to help discover your personal sound is what you can expect. And then we grow your own voice from there.

With a Masters Degree in vocal performance, I possess the necessary knowledge in vocal pedagogy to assist each singer in their desired vocal genre. if you have a passion for Classical, Musical Theatre, Jazz, folk, pop, contemporary, rock, crossover, or if you just want to impress your friends during karaoke night, contact me!

It's fun. It's entertaining. It's informative. I'm Christopher and I want to teach you to sing what you want to sing! Each lesson plan is tailored to meet the personality of the student. Whether you're pursuing a Grammy award or a pitch-perfect rendition of 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,' I'll listen to your goals and lay out a plan to get you where you want to go. When you take singing lessons from me, you'll grasp the technical, creative, and practical sides of singing and all the while have fun doing so!

I can teach you a variety of styles! My singing journey began in classical Opera, with vocalist Anna Dieterich, and I performed in various countries such as Scotland, Jordan, and Holland. I then studied musical theatre vocals at the Circle in the Square theatre program, and have been performing in musicals since then. Currently I also perform as a folk/blues/jazz singer, in New York and Alaska. I can provide ear training, teachings in how to improvise, how to work with an accompaniment, and how to develop your personal style.
