Heather Batey Studio

Welcome! I offer caring, professional instruction in voice and piano for students of all ages at my studio in Pelham, Alabama, located just minutes from major interstates and the Birmingham, AL metro area. The lessons take place in a relaxed home studio setting. I welcome students of all ages who want to learn to sing better, whether they are just beginning, a seasoned professional, or somewhere in between. I offer the same level of service to those who are taking lessons for fun and recreation as I do to the student working on a career in music. I hold degrees in both music education and performance, and 20+ years experience teaching students of all ages. Regardless of what singing style appeals to you, I can help you achieve your goals. Emphasis is on correct singing technique, breath support, expanding the vocal range, and a relaxed, open tone that is powerful, rich, & expressive which will be applicable to a variety of musical styles. Our work together will also include selecting literature to sing, song interpretation, and poise & presentation. I offer assistance in preparing for auditions and competitions, and can also provide a variety of opportunities for performance to help you gain confidence in your singing. Students of this studio are taught all skills necessary for a well-rounded education in music, including theory, sight-reading, musicianship, ear-training, and keyboard skills. Studio space is limited and new students will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. I keep a waiting list of those interested students we are not able to accommodate at this time. At this time, I am not accepting new piano students except in conjunction with voice lessons.
