Norfolk, VA Broadway Singing Lessons

I have performed in tons of musicals. I have also choreographed some and helped many students prepare for musical performance auditions.

If you are preparing for an audition, I can help you with your song selection and of course we will also work on those songs to prepare you for the audition.

If you dream of singing Broadway there's no end to the wonderful repertoire that we can develop! The music of Broadway encompasses a vast variety of singing styles, and requires a robust and flexible vocal sound AND a solid understanding of the proper vocal technique...for singing as well as speaking. And all that while playing the part of the particular character!! Easy!!!, or so we make it look!
We'll gain a thorough understanding of how the vocal apparatus actually works, and develop supportive breathing and athletic techniques that will release the full range of your voice and increase the beauty and flexibility of your tone production. And, since its Broadway, we'll do that for both the singing and speaking Voice.
Your range will dramatically increase, projection will magnify, you'll learn to protect and preserve your Natural innate voice, and set it free to express the emotions of the song.
Your confidence will soar as you refine your sounds and learn to apply them to ...

My lessons are fun, engaging and productive. We will work together to improve your:

*breath support
*passaggio (your "passage" to high notes and ability to regularly achieve them)
*vowel formation
*jaw, neck, shoulder and/or tongue tension
*posture
*pitch
*dynamic range
*musicality

Audition Preparation

I have been performing broadway style singing since I was 5 years old. Several of my students sing broadway.

Broadway singing requires the vocal flexibility to create a new character, a new emotion and a new genre with every show while maintaining healthy technique. Who do you want to sound like today? Let me help you.

I'm a flexible instructor, so we'll start with your goals. Are you looking to do shows? Strengthen or find your voice? Work on audition pieces? Just sing for fun? We will get your voice into tip-top shape, working on achieving long term positive effects through your short term goals.
