    Develop your singing voice with easy and fun tips!

    Students will gain a deeper understanding of their voice using techniques and pedagogy in order to manage breath, gain resonance, sing with clear diction and perform with stage presence. Beginning students will learn important musicianship skills and music theory if needed. More advanced students will expand their repertoire and explore the artistry behind performance. It is my goal to help students discover their natural voice and unlock their full potential with an enjoyable experience.

    About Brandan S.

    5.0
    (1)
    I am a baritone with over a decade of performance experience. I have performed as a soloist and in numerous ensembles that have given me insights on a variety of genres including musical theater, classical voice, opera, jazz, and pop. I love sharing my knowledge of the voice. I believe anyone who is curious about singing can find their own unique voice! All while using a mindful approach to music and singing. Lessons are structured with exercises to help connect breath and body in order to promote healthy singing habits. Lessons will help students form a fully resonant sound ready to tackle any type of style they would like to work on. I can be here to guide you on whatever stage of your singing journey you are on right now! My overall goal is to make sure that you are getting the most out of these lessons on whatever aspect of performance we work on. If you are just starting out, then we can start at the basics. If you are a seasoned singer, then I can be an extra pair of ears for feedback. Whatever the case may be, the most important aspect of these lessons will be having fun while we explore the voice!
