Teaching Philosophy:
Learning to sing is crucial to 3 vital components, technique, sight reading, and repertoire. All voice lessons will focus on these three components. Technique is facilitated through warm-ups and exercises focusing on range, intonation, vowel integrity, and breath support to name a few. Sight reading is the ability to actually read the notes on a sheet of music. Without the skill a student will never be able to truly excel because they will have to have someone teach them songs or learn them from other recordings. Ultimately repertoire is the culmination of the previous components. Songs allow the student the opportunity to apply technique, style, dynamics, and language and also their ability to read the music before them. If the student is not able to apply these elements to songs the work on technique alone is useless. Songs are the best way to track the progress because it is through songs that the student will ultimately perform, not technical exercises. Learning to sing is a process and should not be expected in just a few lessons. Like any other discipline singing requires the effort of both the student and the teacher working together. All students are encouraged to take as many performing opportunities as possible and parents are welcome to listen to lessons.
