Natural talent can go a long way but it does not replace learning to sing with healthy and proper vocal technique. Unfortunately, 99% of us have the same “human habits” which must be replaced with new good habits and that journey starts when you begin learning about your instrument, your voice. We will demonstrate techniques to you and in the process of practicing them, you will learn about your singing system and how to best utilize and coordinate the working parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our vocal training program.
Why take voice lessons I am told I already can sing?
Why is lack of proper breathe control such a common issue?
Our human brains are always analyzing and thinking and breathing is often overcompensated for by the wrong body mechanics. Those who have taken yoga or play a wind instrument already have a better understanding of proper breathing but the rest of us have yet to learn the magic of breath support. Breath support is vital and can affect all other areas of your voice including pitch control, dynamics and tone.
Will the lessons expand my vocal range?
The vocal chords are muscles and just like working out in the weight room can build and tone your arms and legs, doing the vocal exercises we give you will strengthen and condition the vocal chords resulting in a more powerful and responsive instrument. If you do your work outside of class, you will feel the difference in your voice in weeks and even more so after several months. As your voice gets in shape, your range will naturally expand upwards and downwards up to several notes. But again, the speed at which you can expand depends on how much work you put in.
