About
At the first lesson, I introduce basics, and everyone learns a simple song on the piano! I go over expectations, and we can see if we are a good fit together.
For voice: I introduce techniques that a student can use to immediately improve the quality and tone of their sound. You can hear a difference!

For voice, we talk about the larynx, how phonation, and breath control works, proper placement of words/sounds in the mouth. I teach some simple breathing exercises, and we vocalize. I send home something simple for diction.
