About Erin W.
4.7
(52)
I teach voice lessons to kids, teenagers, and adults, ranging in ability from beginner to experienced. I help beginning students learn to match pitch and read notes on the staff. My voice students learn to sing with purer vowels, increased breath support, and to access greater vocal range. For younger students, I recommend taking piano first.
I teach beginning piano to all ages. I teach students as young as 5 as long as they are able to stay focused for the duration of a half hour lesson. Most of my piano students are in the 7-12 range, but I teach some beginning adults as well.
I have a Master's in Vocal Performance from Portland State University, and a Bachelor's from Northern Arizona University.
*** Lesson Details ***
Voice students will learn to improve their technique through proper breathing, correct vowels, space, and resonance. I teach repertoire based on the students' interest, but I am well versed in classical and operatic repertoire in English, French, German, and Italian, as well as some musical theater and jazz. I also teach pop and Disney songs for those who are interested. I can help you improve your technique for whatever style of music you want to sing. For adults, I recommend an hour voice lesson. For teenagers, 45 minutes works well. For kids, I recommend a half hour voice lesson, and half hour of piano if they are not already taking it.
Piano students will learn to read music, play with correct form, learn scales, and improve their musicianship skills. I teach out of lesson books (mostly Faber) to improve technique, but I want students to learn supplemental pieces that are fun for them as well. For young piano beginners, I recommend 30 minutes. Once the student is a little older and more experienced, I like to have them for 45 minutes.
I hope to share with you the same joy I get from making music!
*** Studio Equipment ***
My home studio has a piano, my music library, a mirror for aiding the student in observing their vocal habits.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in teaching classical art songs and musical theater.
