It’s important for voice students to develop the correct posture and good breathing habits necessary for learning the basics of singing, no matter what musical genre they’re interested in. As they practice various exercises, simple songs, and music selections of their own choice, they will develop their ear for singing on pitch with a pleasant, relaxed sound.
I will give an assessment at the first lesson so that I can judge how to proceed in future lessons.
I want the vocal students to practice songs that they know and like, so I will ask them to choose the songs that they will sing. Occasionally, I will ask them to purchase karaoke versions to sing along to. If they have the ability to accompany themselves on piano and guitar, I will ask them to do that at some point, as well, although usually not in the early stages of lessons.
The specific level of instruction will depend upon the age, needs and previous experience of the particular individual.
All you need to begin with are: a voice and a willingness to learn and practice.
Age of students: 7 years to 100+ years
