HOW ZELDA'S LESSONS ARE STRUCTURED Zelda's coaching is student-centered. Lesson ONE is where you discuss your goals and then your voice or current skill level is measured for both the coach and student to clearly see the baseline of where you are now so that the progress you are making each week is clearly seen and heard. Then in the following lessons, the foundational coaching tools for voice, speaking and music mastery are introduced one by one, explained, and demonstrated, which you then practice yourself and then show what you've learned by demonstrating your understanding and ability to use the new tool. You then apply all the tools you are learning to the material and projects that are relevant to you so that you can master each tool and technique in real-life application. You are given practice activities and homework to help you progress even faster and your success is monitored so you can see how far you've come. Students love this super-organized and systematic approach to learning to master using their voice and musical ability because they can easily see their breakthroughs, successes, and progress in each lesson and celebrate how they achieved marvellous milestones of accomplishment.
